Are they DRMed? If so, that is your problem
and since you can read it on your Kindle, it must be a Kindle book, I guess a .azw4 (Print Replica)? KindleUnpack can extract the PDF from that.

the content. Behind the scenes, this results in multiple copies of the text on top of each other.

Well, I think you get the idea.
PDF is a pretty messy format, as far as I am concerned highlighting will always be iffy...

Actually, lately I've even been using a mini-iPad as my e-book reader rather than my Kobo or Sony. Yes, it's heavier, but the screen size is larger and I don't have to bother with Calibre any longer. I can load my iPad with almost any format book, and be able to read it. At the same time, I have full connectivity to the Internet should I want it, without carrying an extra device. The extra few ounces don't seem to be a problem for a full-grown adult.

Some people prefer reading on an E-Ink device... although there are some new E-Ink tablets out there that usually do better with PDFs than a dedicated ereader with stock firmware.
