In theory the only difference between the Illiad output profile and the Sony 300 is when you deal with image resizing. The Sony profile will resize images to fit within 800x600 where the Illiad profile will resize images to fit within 1024x768. An all text novel could care less since ePub is a text reflowable standard.

Converting from PDF is the real problem. Some folks here could help their output by adjusting the line un-wrapping factor under PDF input. Even if you get this number about right converting from PDF to Epub is problematic. Probably best to grab a good PDF viewing App for the iPad.
