It is doubtful that Acrobat would output anything other than the correct text and Calibre the same. The main difference, as I pointed out, is the formatting of SOME sentences and 5 missing characters that I replaced. You're being far too nitpicking.
Don't mind Jon, he is a perfectionist.

Besides, this isn't an OCR so the text is fine.
You may want to play with the line-unwrap factor -- this was a killer and I gave up and joined every paragraph by hand.
(Because I wanted to, not because I had to. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist myself but it's all self-inflicted. )
Also, the missing capital letters at the beginning of chapters -- IIRC they appear misplaced, later on in the middle of the text. You may or may not care to fix it.

But other than that, it should be fine.

Good job on a successful PDF conversion and Welcome to MobileRead!
