Dumb questions

Y'all should be used to this by now. I have two problems. The default font for .pdf on my EZ Reader is too small for me to read. If I zoom the font to the next size, I end up with pages with three lines on them and then blank til the next page. Therefore, I'm assuming I'd need to convert those .pdf's to something else for making them easier to read on the EZ Reader. I know Calibre does this, and will put them in .mobi, which my EZ Reader will also read, but does anyone have any tips on what font size to use? I tried it with 12 and it was not only way too big, but the file now runs everything all together, no paragraph breaks or anything. Alternatively, if someone knows a program that will convert a .pdf to .rtf I'd like to know about it, please.

The other problem is that I have a couple of books that are just badly formatted. I don't know if they were converted from something else, or what, but I have doubled letters (as in two l's every time one l is typed), and the numeral 1 for L, etc and so forth. Converting these won't do any good, will it? I'll need to take them into a word processor and basically re-proofread them, am I correct?

Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions;
