Yes, I believe most of the eBook readers (having display < 7") render the pdf format the same way.

I found an acceptable (not a perfect) solution:
I send the pdf to Amazon for a free conversion (you receive the converted file via email, not via Wispernet!) and I loose a small part of the original formatting.

You could also use Modipocket Reader (free software) and the result is similar (I find it a bit worse, than the Amazon conversion).

I can display the pdf files nicely (without loosing any formatting) on my 7" tablet, but Kindle's e Ink technology is far better for me.
