1) Is there a way to improve the version by Calibre ? ( get rid of unwanted random spaces shown in mini Kobo reader )

2) Is there a "Pdf To epub converter " that is best compatible with mini Kobo reader ?
Have you played with the line unwrap setting in Calibre? You can also try some of the heuristic processing settings. Between that and running the epub through Sigil, the results can look pretty decent. In Sigil, a simple search for any line ending a a lower case letter can go a long ways towards cleaning up the results ( regex search for [a-z]</p> ).

As for your second suggestion, the best I've managed was to use Acrobat to export and then import into either Calibre or Sigil to do the final epub production.

Good luck,
David
