It is too bad that publishers are still somewhat in the dark ages when it comes to the final stages of editing a text; perhaps wide spread adoption of epub may someday fix that (although not likely if MS does their usual proprietary implementation of such).

Converting into Mobipocket format from the PDF will take a lot of work. After the conversion is done, every single paragraph will have to be compared to the PDF to make sure there are no errors. That will be a lot of work. I do not know of any program that will convert
Sunborn in PDF to something else without adding in a single error. So this may be the most time consuming way to get it converted to a reflowable format. Will it be worth it? Maybe, maybe not.
Jeffrey, is it possible to get a hold of the source used to make the PDF?
