It probably has to do with how the text is overlayed on/under scanned page (I'm wondering if converting the pdf with calibre to some other format, like epub, and then back again to pdf, may help, given how destructive calibre is on pdfs).
My main issue is that text annotated and exported to .txt lacks all spaces.
The document itself looks perfectly normal.
I just noticed the effect in the bookmark titles as well.

Since I'm not aware of annotation or bookmark features in (at least the Linux versions of) evince and acroread, I'm not sure we talk about the same issue.
(Just for the sake of it, I just tried marking/copy-pasting text out of an affected document... it worked on acroread and evince, but omitted spaces on the M92)

My guess would be that it's encoding related... and that the std. options of latex/pdflatex/dvips/pstopdf produce PDFs with a certain peculiarity the Boox can't cope with.

P.S.: I just noticed that double-quotes (") of an affected document just turned out multi-character-garbage... could it be a unicode<->ascii issue?
