I tried calibre to convert and got a crap conversion with that as well. So it will be great to finally have a device that just reads them. Which I'm hoping from what people have said about the PP it reflows the PDF's so should be ok.
Yeah, should be good. And as you have chosen a Hanlin V5 clone you are free to try a lot of different firmwares to get the one with the best PDF capabilities. The LBook ones are often quite good, and I guess the Astak is also good. I don't like the BeBook versions as much anymore because they seem to be behind the other developers in getting the firmware releases out.

Good choice - enjoy!

BTW - was it a good price - if you don't mind telling, how much to down under with the shipping? I'm thinking of ordering one as a gift for my aunt in Perth.
