Calibre with default settings cuts the text at the end of the line, so it will look like two lines of text, one line space. Not cool for reading.
What are best practices for simple conversion either with Calibre, BookONO or other software?

If your pdf is about A5 size or A4 2-column then you can read it easily and comfortably on 6" without conversion to mobi/epub, simply by zooming without margins in landscape mode or by using 2-column mode in portraite.
If your reader doesn't have good zooming options or becomes too slow for your liking, then you can simply use k2pdfopt to do that beforehand.
You can even read A4 one-column pdf on 6" without conversion but only after reflowing it beforehand using k2pdfopt app.
k2pdfopt's reflowing is much better solution for scanned and textual pdfs because it does not reflow OCR layer but image itself, so there will be 100% accuracy for mathematical and other expressions, and pictures/tables/graphs will also be retained.
