I am sure this has been asked a million times, so please bear with me.

What viable and inexpensive way is there to convert PDF to either HTML or DOC?

I have an ebookwise reader, and tried

- PDFReader: This converts to image files, which does not work for me. The resulting file is large and unreadable, not to mention that text related features do not work on images.

- pdftohtml: This converts to HTML, but it does not differentiate between paragraphs and line breaks, and the resulting text in the HTML is all jumbled up. Other conversion tools I have tried do the same.
