I have the entire series in PDF.I have tried to convert to ePub using Calibre, Of course it doesn come out very good. If I upload in EBooks is anyone interested in attempting to convert to EPub?

This should go in the appropriate ebook forum, not in the Calibre forum. Also, bear in mind that if the series is still under copyright, you cannot share them.

a few of the lensmen books can be found on project Gutenberg

If you were to do anything as stupid as to upload pirated books to MR you would be instantly banned. Don't do it.

Welcome to the peculiarities of older US copyright law. The PG texts are from original magazine publications, which carried separate copyrights and often weren't renewed.

The actual book versions are still under copyright, and can't be legally uploaded.

Yes, the magazine serialisations aren't the same as the subsequent novels; the novels were considerably expanded.
