Answers.Body: <p>I achieved it with using <strong>DjVuLibre</strong><br>
  If you install the <code>djvulibre-bin</code> (Ubuntu install link) package, you will now have the <code>djvups</code> command, which converts a <strong>DejaVu</strong> file to PostScript <code>.ps</code>. You can then use any tool (like <code>ps2pdf</code>) to turn that <code>.ps</code> into a <code>.pdf</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Full command sequence</p>
  
  <pre><code>djvups original_file.djvu temp.ps
  ps2pdf temp.ps outputfile.pdf
  rm temp.ps
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my experience using <code>djvups</code> is much faster than using ImageMagick's convert, and uses much, much less memory.<br>
  The conversion to <code>.ps</code> quick, but the conversion to pdf step can take longer.<br>
  The pdf (and ps file) <strong><em>is much larger</em></strong> than the .djvu file (about 100 times the size)</p>
  
  <p>Finally, you can use PDF file or convert it to <code>mobi</code> or <code>ePub</code>.</p>

  There is no out of the box possibility.
  
  The easiest way would be to convert the file to pdf, of course this would make the DjVu advantages disappear.
  
  The alternative is to modify your Kindle by installing a compatible reader. One possibility that is still actively developed is [Librerator](http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198742) (which is also a superior for viewing larger pdfs).

  What I always do to read DjVu ebooks on my Kindle is the following (In case they do not contain important images).
  
  1. I convert them to plain text using: <https://www.djvu-pdf.com/> - just choose the convert to plain text option after uploading your file
  2. I open the text file with my Kindle.
  
  Like that you have the freedom to adapt font size etc.

  The conversion to .ps quick, but the conversion to pdf step can take longer.
  The pdf (and ps file) is much larger than the .djvu file (about 100 times the size)
  Finally, you can use PDF file or convert it to mobi or ePub.
  Here is more detailed information.
  Another solution is to use Calibre and after installation:
  Add book -> right click on it -> select Convert -> Convert individually.
