thanks for the explanations, I didn't know you could rejigger indents and paragraphs in an automated way like that! If I wanted to change a format bad enough, I usually took a detour to word... I shall put some more work in figuring out what all the input and output options do in Calibre!

And yes, it makes perfect sense that PDF's are not a good source for conversions to formats that reflow. but for some things thats all I have, and so far, Calibre has been doing a better than expected job at it.

Occasionally, I seem to get some index or ToC weirdness, like the same index twice in a row on top of the book, I figure I can repair that manually with an html editor of some sort...
But other than that, stuff remained very readable, with code samples still perfectly placed and readable.
