Is it a pdf????

I have found - generally - converting a pdf to epub with calibre, using heuristic processing' SOMETIMES works.

Or pdf to mobi then to epub SOMETIMES works. It seems to depend upon the age(?) of the pdf as to how easily it converts.

And occasionally it won't do anything.

So I have to decide how likely I am to re-read. Sometimes I can ignore weird spaces. Or if I am fairly likely to re-read, then I use modify epub, sigh, and edit line or paragraph as needed.
