 Using the conversion service will just add DRM to the copy you get back, which isn't a very desirable result.

    My understanding was that Amazon just converts the format but does NOT put any sort of copy protection on your documents that you send.    It seems I have heard of cases where folks sent files for conversion and they were able to move them between Kindles which would imply no DRM.  But, I could be mistaken.

I quit using their service (mobicreator lets you get a better result), but the early PDF's I sent all ended up with DRM on them, tied to only my Kindle (as we found out after adding our second Kindle, last year). I haven't used their since for anything other than read-once material (and that's been from before they started charging/KB).  It's also possible that mobi/prc and PDF "conversion" are handled differently and the DRM was due to starting from a PDF.

Regardless, the mobi/prc format is already as good as it will get on the Kindle - it might be worth it to some to pay 45 cents to have it transmitted, versus  using the cable, but using the free.kindle.com address really has no benefit at all.
