I would convert to EPUB, you may need to do a bit of editing of the EPUB with the calibre editor before converting it to a Kindle format.
This Word add-on might be useful to you ==>> e-Book Tools - a Word add-in. It includes tools specifically targeted at dealing with messy documents created from scanning and PDF conversions. And it can create the EPUB directly.

Thanks man =D
I work as a front-end developer so editing XHTML and CSS is fine, but with 13k lines, it's just too much work.
Updating on my MSWord attempt, I was able to convert .docx, but not .doc, and the result of .docx -> .mobi was surprisingly good. The characters worked well as if they were on a single charset and Kindle displayed them just fine. I'll just adjust the .docx input to get a finer MOBI result.
Thanks for all the help =D
I'll definitely try to get in touch with the teachers and talk about having a eReader friendly version of their book, i'm sure it'll help many of my course mates =D
