Hello,
been using Calibre for sending documents on my kindle Paperwhite. The readability on some PDFs is totally broken. I even tried converting to AZW3, some files did imrove, some didn't.
Did I miss a function, that adjusts PDFs to the 6 inch e.reader?
Like this program:

I quote from a quora site I just found,

"I also don’t get why Calibre is so bad at converting PDFs to Kindle-friendly formats, even very clean ones, with regular formatting and spacing. You always end up losing a lot of time fiddling with Calibre settings and still getting a poor result. The default defense for Calibre is that PDF is by design static and hard to reflow. But just try opening the same file in MS Word 2013 or 2016: It converts to reflowable text perfectly, no weird paragraph breaks; footnotes, images and everything in place, as long as the original isn’t in poor quality and doesn’t have a very complex layout (many columns and graphs). Even if you just use Amazon’s cloud converting service, emailing the PDF to your Kindle with the word “convert” in the title, it does way better than Calibre, without having to bother with configurations. Calibre also seems to have a hard time detecting titles structure and generating an index automatically. That is, from PDF to epub/mobi. If you need a reflowable file to another (like epub to mobi or vice-versa, or docx to mobi) then it’s excellent."
