All I want to do ...is download a pdf to a usb stick...and plug it in to a reader...so I can read it...or have it read to me if I’m in the car. that’s it.

Me, too. I have dozens of googlebook* pdf downloads on my netbook. I'd love to convert them to kindle format and put them on my kindle and forget the netbook, but so far the "mobi conversion" hasn't worked AT ALL :-(

* I also have a few pdf downloads from project gutenberg, but I don't like their formatting as much as I like google's .
