Lines of text 8.5" wide... with no columns?! That's unheard of... whoever typeset that needs their head examined... 6.5" (so the width of 8.5x11 paper with 1" inch margins on both sides) is already significantly too wide by most professional standards; very few published works I've seen go above 4.5" (at least in a single column), and many significantly less.

Yeah, I think if your vision problems are bad enough you're going to have to convert, or use the reflow feature on the reader. You shouldn't end up with no paragraph breaks at all though... what software are you using to convert?
