So I've heard.

I have also converted PDFs to epub and read on a Sony without difficulty- maybe it depends on what is in the book? Maybe I just got lucky.
That would be luck -- calibre has a bunch of complicated settings for PDF conversion, specifically here I am thinking of the line unwrap setting. Often needs to be tweaked, and depending on the PDF, half the lines will be missed anyway. It tends to be the kind of thing where your goal is to cut out the majority of the errors, so that it will be faster to fix manually.

But again, it's all in how the PDF was formed. Some will magically convert in a beautiful manner, and aren't those readers lucky!
