The VitalSource Bookshelf application lets you perform a number of advanced functions with your VBK e-books. Since the VBK format is a proprietary format, there is no conversion program that can convert a VBK file into a PDF file. Since you can print VBK files, you can convert a VBK into a PDF by using a print-to-PDF program that allows you to convert to PDF directly from the print menu.
