You can simply use those images or quickly print out those images as PDF or as epub/mobi images using Calibre and then read it in landscape mode with a considerable text magnification depending on the screen size, but if you prefer epub or mobi as txt files you should apply OCR (optical character recognitionon) on those images beforehand, using any free or payed for OCR software like Abby Finereader, Adobe Acrobat etc. or free online services that would usually directly create epub files.
Since many eink readers are capable of reflowing ocr-ed pdf (using its OCR-layer text that we can enlarge or change its font type as with epub/mobi) there is maybe no need for epub conversion, if pdf reflow mode is good enough for our purpose.

Although these informations are not strictly related to drm-stripping methods, I wouldn't go into any further details here because it could be maybe interpreted as such.
