That's the thing. I'm assuming that removing "-mode 2col" would result in the default mode with re-flowed text? Converting it via Calibre results in the pages being converted into a series of .png images. Can't re-flow or re-scale the text in my e-reader then; and since that seems to be the only point in converting it to .epub in the first place, it seems rather pointless. Then again, it is very likely due to conversion settings I don't understand yet, or tools I don't have yet, since I just started all of this a couple of weeks ago. Not a big problem, since the best solution -- to use k2 to set the .pdf just right for my screen, and run with that -- is not at all a bad one.
