Very useful information!

The file converted for about 650 minutes. It ended up half the size of the original but it was corrupted and unusable.
A few other files converted successfully but the text was mangled and unreadable. It seemed to work fine for a few others though. So the type of the PDF seems to affect the outcome greatly.

Before I used K2pdfopt and it would just rearrange the text and zoom in for a better read in eBook readers. It seemed to be working alright and it's fast but definitely not the cleanest solution.

Also very useful information especially for large books. An off-topic question: have you used your Nexus 7 for reading? How do you find it?

And thank you, both for the info!
