But converting from that PDF to anything else is liable to be messy. But perhaps a PDF instead of an Amazon wrapped PDF will be sufficient for your needs?

Thank you very much. I just saved the pdf as an html file and converted it to epub, and it's already much better, though some Greek characters are missing (but then, I don't read Greek, so it's just an annoyance for the eyes). I'll have to see how it works with a minimum of work, otherwise I could just crop the PDF and read on the One, but my eyes don't tolerate that for long.
And I just realized that the expensive "epub" versions were in fact PDFs too, so I'll have to deal anyway - or buy the paperback, but I find it more and more difficult to read paperbacks.
EDIT: well, the PDF is readable, but unpleasant, and the epub will need little work more, it is already ok, I just have to jump pages and make a decent TOC. Also on the Kobo, there are no more missing characters (those ? in a black rhomb). I don't know why they were there on the Calibre reader, because I parametered it with appropriate fonts (Calibri, Caudex, Dejavu Serif, Linux Biolinum, Noto Sans and Noto Serif, Palatino and Tinos among my fonts work with ancient Greek).
