I have the Kindle 2, Kindle DX and used to have a Sony 505.

I would recommend using the Kindle DX, since it will give you nearly  
full size display of your PDF (albeit as a graphic PDF, not a reflowed  
text PDF).  I've tried the Sony 505 (same size screen as 600) but PDFs  
were so small I couldn't read them.  Same problem would be present if  
the Kindle 2 were capable of native display of PDFs (without  
conversion to AZW)--and I can't recall offhand if it even can.

Long story short, the only thing that does this adequately at present  
is the Kindle DX.  The only downside to reading PDFs on the DX is that  
the page is displayed as a graphic not as reflowing text, so can not  
be highlighted or annotated.
