I'm trying to convert an EPUB book to PDF using settings as close as possible to how iBooks renders books. The EPUB is specifically made to be viewed in iBooks, but the default settings on Calibre produce a horribly mangled version (with overlapping text, missing text, bad layout) apart from other more minor aesthetic issues (like fonts and page margins). Just viewing the EPUB in Calibre removes the former problems, but not the latter, and in any case I want the book as a PDF in a readable and aesthetically pleasing format. Is there any way I can tell Calibre to render like iBooks, in order to get this?
