Can't seem to convert anything properly

I'm trying to convert a couple scientific articles into the AZW3 format for my Kindle Scribe (first generation, or whatever they're calling it). I've been using the Scribe as a study tool, but reading in plain PDF format doesn't allow me to use all its features. These two articles are a sort of test to see if Calibre can meet my needs, seeing as how Amazon's own conversion tool can't.

One of the articles always fails with an "index out of bounds" error when trying to parse headers (maybe it doesn't match the regex?), while the other is seemingly defining different margins for each line.

The problem with the second article's conversion is thus:

Basically, it
does exactly what you're read-
ing here, where you can't exactly tell when a li-
ne is going to
end because there's no consistency
between them.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? If Calibre just isn't made for scientific articles (usually written using LaTeX, if it matters), is there another software that is?
