    The kindle can handle PDFs but it's not perfect. The text can be a little small/requires you to zoom in and out.

    If you read a lot of pdfs specially with illustrations, graphs etc. Kindle might not be for you. I have one, but now I know I should get Sony Reader which handles pdfs much better. I see on the Internet many people getting a third party software for Kindle called Duokan only to read pdfs.
    This comparison of Sony and Kindle exlpains the issue well:
