This sample doesn't have the manual page breaks I had been using for the full document, I actually removed them in the hopes that it would simplify what I was looking at in Calibre so I could put the page breaks back in myself (seeing as it was largely ignoring them anyway).
The page is formatted 6x9, like it was for print. I'm not sure if that would change anything.

I had a quick look at the rtf and the calibre conversion to epub. Calibre's viewer was not happy with the table of contents until I increased the width.
Basically, I would forget about formatting for a page size -- epub is generally used for reflowable books in contrast to PDF which is page oriented. What I saw as a more serious issue is that the sections are not separated into separate text files. I did a quick manual split on the original file removing a lot of the blank lines used to separate pages in the rtf. For the table of contents, the page number are iffy and you might want to make the text a link instead of plain text (I added a sample link for the Introduction).
