My question is--has anyone actually used this imtoo gizmo? And if so, does it do a good job?
Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions.

Do not use the PDF if you have a Word file. The word file will produce better results and faster. If you are a beginner I would suggest downloading Atlantis Word Processor. They have a free trial and you can have an ePub within 5 minutes and a Mobi also using your word file as a source.
If you are HTML savy you can turn the word file into an html and then use Sigil to convert it to ePub. You are talking hours of effort. But if Atlantis, for some reason, doesn't produce exactly the epub you want you can edit the ePub using a Sigil download. (Sigil has its own forum here on Mobile Read) Atlantis has it own thread here.
