Funny... I just did a conversion of a book to RTF, opened it in MS Word and to me, it's fine to print.
It even has styles applied to portions of the book corresponding to the original markup, so I can either change the style or associate a new style set to the whole document to get a different look and feel.
Have you considered that it's a case of GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT?
Additionally I tried converting to PDF; worked like a charm. I got letter sized pages, just as I wanted, the only breaks were each chapter started a new page which is not that big a deal. I even added page #'s at the bottom of each page; 124 pages.
I presume you did bother going through all the option pages on an ePub to PDF conversion, including those on the PDF output section where you can override the paper size to ... letter? Do see
