You have problems if you want to convert the pdf files to anything with Calibre. Using reflow or extracting the text only works for very simple pdfs. An easier way is to combine all of the pdfs and then put the final pdf in your e-reader.
There are some regular utilities for working with pdf files outside of Calibre. If you have access to a linux machine then just convert all of the pdf files to ps with pdf2ps and then: " cat *.ps | ps2pdf - out.pdf " Be sure you get the ps files in the order you want to read them. The dash is to cause ps2pdf to accept the ps files from stdin and the out.pdf would be your final pdf made from combining all of the 20 ps files made from the 20 pdfs.
I am sure there are many other ways to do the same thing; this is what I have used for many years. The resulting pdf files work fine in an ebook reader if you have sharp eyes or a large size e-reader.
