Can someone make a PDF reader for the Kindle? It would display PDF's somewhat sanely and it would allow bookmarking and annotations.

  Besides the one Amazon ships in the latest firmware versions ? ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200324680 http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=2... ) The manuals ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200317150 http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=2... ) seem to say you can bookmark PDF pages, but do not mention clippings or annotations, which are allowed for the mobi/azw default format.

    Yes, besides that one. It seems to completely barf on most PDFs especially multi column ones. I don't recall the bookmarking working. And annoations and clippings are definately not there.

      Well, I was looking at the DX manual - I confess I'm waiting to lay my mitts on one, which should be landing in my corner of Europe today. If you're talking of the 6" e-ink screen (I have one of the Hanlin ones, branded BeBook), I do not think there's a good way of reading PDFs "printed" to Letter/A4 on them. (Thus the DX.) (Short, of course, of intelligently reflowing the PDF to a smaller page size - which currently seems to be an opportunity ;-)

  I think they forbid "generic readers" as apps.
