(When my kids were Homeschooling, they'd much rather have their books on the readers, than a half-size notebook or home-bound edition.)

I don't convert pdf to epub/mobi or print it to paper because I can read it easily on 6" and 10" eink readers or tablets and (even more importantly to me) without any visible OCR errors and additional time consuming tedious labour.
5x8 pdfs i.e. A5 formated, can be viewed in landscape (margins cropped), two or three screens per page on 6" reader or in portraite on 10".
For A4 formated pdfs, the best solution is 10" landscape (margins cropped if necessary), again two or three screens per page.
To be able to use highlighting, search, dictionary etc. pdf must be ocr-ed beforehand.
If our e-ink reader's pdf zooming capabilities are not good or quick enough for our liking we can use k2pdfopt to adjust pdf easily and quickly for our reader beforehand.

Pdf can be easily disassembled back to images if our pdf reader, editor or tool have that fuction i.e. can save or export pdf page(s) as images.
