Since MobiPocket offers the MobiPocketCreator Publisher Edition free, this might be worth a look.
Does MobiPocketCreator handle text reflow reasonably well?
I have found other PDF to TXT format converters that work a little better than Calibre, but they just give a raw TXT output file with a ragged right margin and lots of unwanted hard carriage returns that you end up having to remove using E-book Tidy or another tool in order to get your EPUB to reflow properly.
Also, the intermediate conversion to txt format file in not ideal because you loose any formatting such as headings and figures, as well as any hyper-links or TOC.
It would be nice if the PDF->MOBI->EPUB conversion could preserve at least some of the original formatting, but even if this is not the case, I would be happy if it could at least do a reasonable job of paragraph detection and text reflow.
