Yes, my e-reader( All-reader) in the pad allows to select the entire page and it has a feature to save it as TXT or HTML. I did try to save in both formats. Each time it says “ saved”, but I don’t know where it is saved. I don't think it replaced the original page because there is no change. THe page still has the original PDF image layout and does not allow any editing or change in the font size, etc. Supposing I did find the location and the page , what would be the next step?

Thanks
