Yay! We've got the 1.0 version, and love it. Hopefully you got the Tor books in .prc format when they were released last year? Also, the Baen free books are already in the right format, too.
The Tor ones were released once a week last year for a limited time, but are no longer available (although they periodically release new ones for a limited time).
As far as converting goes, we've never had a problem with .doc or .pdfs using Amazon's converters. And anything in prc or mobi is already converted, of course (and you can load them directly). There are other apps for converting files, too.
Thanks for the info. I saw on Amazon that some file types (including .doc) convert by emailing them to my dedicated kindle address, but I don't think it listed .pdf as one of the types. Does it work the same way, and I just didn't see it?
They mention it as an experimental feature right on the Kindle page at Amazon itself (just search for PDF on that page). We've only tried pdf text files, but they've all been fine.
