It opens in calibre's reader fine for me. Are you on a flavor of Linux? What version of calibre are you using? If you are using Linux install using the recommended binary installation on calibre's download page. Repositories often cause problems.

In my experience, calibre never stalls on a conversion. Calibre may error but if it seems stalled it is always the impatience of the user. Calibre usually steps straight to 47% then to 67% then to complete. Some books may take literally hours to complete, to convert this book to mobi takes between 10 and 12 minutes to complete.

I was able to print the whole manual from calibre's viewer to a PDF document the same as any other document I want might want to print to PDF. I use Adobe for the PDF printer but there are many other PDF print drivers.
