There are numerous trheads about going from pdf to e-reader formats, but I'm having trouble going the other way:
-I need to convert some ebooks (mobi and/or epub) to pdf files. I've been using Calibre. But I'm not happy with the results.
The fonts either come out gigantic or way to small, the margins are never adequatem, and I lose all the hyperlinks (this part may be inevitable).

Does anyone have any advice? Ideally, I would want the book to look as close to what a print copy of it would theoretically look like.

Most of these are academic books; they are far easier to read and mark up on my iPad as pdf files (using iAnnotate) than using either the Kindle app or iBooks.
