I know that pdf is not a good source for epub, however I only have access to the pdf. On my Nook, the pdf is very small and I have to strain my eyes in order to read it. So, I wanted to convert to epub, hoping to be able to use different fonts. When i try that, my viewer states hat there is only 3 pages, when in fact there are 424 pages. I can view the whole thing on my PC, but my Nook only will show the cover page.

So, I had an idea that i thought would work, but it isn't. I thought maybe I could convert the PDF to a Word doc first; and then convert to epub. When I try that, the only thing I get in a word doc is a graphical representation of the pdf, instead of editable text which I want.

Any recommendations? If there are any good pdf to word convertors, please let me know. I tried 3 or 4 of them with the same result.
