Why convert MOBI to PDF?
A MOBI file only opens in Kindle apps, Kindle devices and a few ebook programs. A PDF opens everywhere: every browser, every phone and every computer, with no extra app needed.
Converting is the easiest way to print a MOBI book, share it with someone who does not use Kindle, or keep a copy that will still open years from now.
Remember that PDF pages are fixed. A book laid out on A4 looks small on a phone, so choose the page size for where you will read it: A4 or Letter for printing, A5 or 6×9 inches for tablets and phones.
