What is the best way to convert PDF to kindle?
There isn't one. Looking for a good way is futile; the best you can do is to look for the methods (and there are many and the vary from PDF to PDF) that are the least bad.

The bottom line is that it's a matter of trial-and-terror. With each original you'll find the least bad conversion requires a somewhat different technique than with any other. What works for one won't necessarily work well for the next.

Add calibre to you kit of tools and read the sticky in the calibre "conversion" forum here at MR and read through some of the threads. Also add Sigil, an ePub editor, as often the best approach involves converting the PDF to ePub and fixing the errors in Sigil before converting the repaired ePub to MOBI.
