Wow. Those settings worked great. Thanks!
Is there any particular reason it was in 2-column mode rather than default mode though?
I have to admit that I don't completely understand the reasoning behind all of the settings specified the way they were, but it works, so they're saved under "High Tolerance," and I'll look them over again once I have more time.

@nickq -- This likely happens because using native PDF output in k2pdfopt reproduces the entire source page but with cropping directives for each k2 output page so that only certain parts of the source page are shown. Calibre's conversion to .epub is likely completely ignoring these cropping directives and just blindly copying the all of the text from the entire original source page (not just the cropped part), which would result in a lot of repeated text in the .epub file. Does that describe what you see?

Yes, fragments of text repeated multiple times -- sometimes single words, sometimes fragments of words. Occasionally a whole paragraph, but in no way usable. Is there a way to generate decent .epub files from .pdf's via k2 -> calibre? With "Re-flow Text," Calibre doesn't seem to detect the Text as all and seems to treat all of the pages as images. (bitmaps?)
