I achieved it with using DjVuLibre
If you install the djvulibre-bin (Ubuntu install link) package, you will now have the djvups command, which converts a DejaVu file to PostScript .ps. You can then use any tool (like ps2pdf) to turn that .ps into a .pdf.

Full command sequence

djvups original_file.djvu temp.ps
ps2pdf temp.ps outputfile.pdf
rm temp.ps

In my experience using djvups is much faster than using ImageMagick's convert, and uses much, much less memory.
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.
