what would make a book "difficult" to take so much time? Images? Most text processing is near instant

The book I had was 2000 pages and chock full of Microsoft html junk with 10s of thousands of lines in the CSS files.

I'm 51 and I like my books with a larger font (to avoid reading glasses), spaces between paragraphs and an indent on each paragraph. So I sometimes do a epub-epub conversion to get the book the way I am comfortable reading it.

You can roll the dice on anything, PDFs are great for what they are designed for, typically fixed sized presentations. Often things don't seem to go well when converting PDFs to a reflowable format. Personally I avoid PDF files as my source if at all possible. Now I have to go wash my hands.
