This might answer your question What file format does the Amazon Kindle use

Hi everyone,

no you cannot download pdf to kindle but if you will login to amazon they will explain exactly, what you can donwload, and how to do this. And they have got all the tools how to convert pdf to kindel download store.

All the best and see you on top Erwin.

There is a really good free software program called calibre that you can use to convert your books so they will work on Kindle. You can find it at calibre-ebook.com. It is awesome and works a charm for me.

I have a kindle and you can read PDF's on it. You just have to read them in landscape otherwise it's a pain in the ass.

They used to accept PDF's while i was selling on there. Go over to Mobipocket's site and download their PDF/DOC converter. It will turn your ebook into a Kindle accepted form immediately. Free too.

You can upload a PDF, but usually it will kill your table of contents and cover if a reader clicks on the TOC button on the Kindle Reader.

For short books PDF is fine.

For fiction books PDF is fine.

For non-fiction/reference books where they need to keep referring back to the table of contents I would steer away from PDF.
