Kindle DX can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original file. 

Just drag PDF files over USB to your Kindle or e-mail them to your dedicated Kindle 

e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page 

on Amazon). If you e-mail a PDF document to your Kindle’s e-mail address, we will 

wirelessly deliver the PDF file directly to your Kindle via Whispernet, for a fee. 

You can also choose to turn on the experimental application, Text-to-Speech, which will 

read aloud your books (where allowed by the rights holder), newspapers, blogs, and 

personal documents. While reading a book or periodical, press the Text key 

, 

then use the 5-way controller to underline “turn on” for "Text-to-Speech". Press the 

5-way to select "turn on". You can either listen through your Kindle's external speakers 

or plug in earphones into the headphone jack. While Text-to-Speech is playing, the 

screen will turn the pages automatically so you can follow along while the audio is 

playing. You have the choice of hearing your content spoken with a male or female 

voice and can also further optimize the listening experience by slowing down or 

increasing the rate of speech.
