I do wish people would stop saying this.
PDF is far and away the best ebook format. Because it's an output format, It's just a lousy format to convert
from, and a lousy format for distributing. If you create your own PDF with your own desired settings, nothing else comes close to comparing in quality, however.
Word would not be my software of choice, but if you set the page size, font size and margins correctly and export to PDF you can get a very nice looking PDF from Word for reading on a portable device: at least as good as any other format.
But no, don't convert the PDF to ePub after making it. If you really need an ePub, you'll need to use other means.
