However, I came across a program called K2PDF

which does a different sort of conversion, to a resized PDF. I chose the Kobo Aura output and it is immaculate. Exactly like reading an epub, but in PDF format. This is for a book with occasional illustrations. I don't know what it would be like for more complex PDFs.

If one can find affordable used Kobo Aura One it is still a very good pdf, djvu, comic e-reader, but only after the installation of Koreader app thereon, Koreader also uses k2pdfopt's reflow mode.
