      If it is already in PDF format why not just mail them directly to the device?

        You can read pdf's directly on the kindle. Or you can convert it to native kindle format using claibre calibre - E-book management

          Amazon.co.uk Help: Transferring, Downloading, and Sending Files

          Easy. You email it, and you can choose it to be received as unchanged PDF or converted to Kindle format, with no need for Calibre.

          1. Attach your document to a new e-mail or forward an existing e-mail that has a document attached. A subject is not necessary unless you would want to convert your PDF documents to the Kindle format. If you would like to convert your PDF document, simply type "Convert" in the subject title
          2. Send the e-mail to your Kindle e-mail address for wireless delivery directly to your Kindle; If your Kindle has Wi-Fi enabled, it will be delivered to your Kindle at no charge. A small fee will be charged for the wireless delivery over 3G.
          3. Personal documents in supported file formats smaller than 5 MB are typically delivered to your "name"@free.kindle.com or "name"@kindle.com e-mail address within five minutes (per document). Personal documents larger than 5 MB may take longer.
          4. Personal documents in some file formats (such as PDF files) may take longer.
          5. Your e-mail provider may have additional limitations on file size.

              Any idea on how to build a document table of contents?

              I've transfered an eBook to my kindle just fine. But it would be nice to have a "Go To" for the chapters.

                PDFs work ok on a Kindle, but you can convert them really easily with Calibre, nice little application.

                    As they all said.

                    You can either email them straight to the kindle which works well if there is not too many charts and graphs on each pdf page i.e. a pdf book as otherwise you have to magnify each part you want to read.

                    Or use Calibre to convert them. The thing is if you are converting something like a book in pdf you may find that you get the branding of the place where you got the pdf from in the middle of the page making it hard to read.

                    So you may need to do an experiment to see which works best for a group of pdfs.
