Thank you.

Turns out my e-reader isn't bad at displaying PDF after changing a couple of settings, including a… "Reflow text" option.

Since PDFs are so common, when buying an e-reader, it's a good idea to check how well it supports PDFs without bothering trying to turn them into EPUBs.

Out of curiosity, I'll see if I can find infos about what all the settings in Caliber's Convert dialog mean.

Am I correct in understanding that Caliber first lets poppler convert the PDF into HTML + PNG/JPG, and then goes to work on the HTML based on the settings in the Conversion dialog?
