You don't say what format you're converting from. Judging from your results I'm guessing PDF.
Before I go further, my advice to all of the iPad owners out there is to stop the insanity! Trying to convert PDF to epub just to be able to read it in the iBooks apps is insane. The main (possibly only) advantage the iPad has as an ereader is, with the right app, the ability to read PDF in it's native format. The larger screen and the addition of color is ideal for this. Get the GoodReader App for $0.99 and move on.
If you insist in attempting to convert your PDF to ePub try adjusting the line un-wrapping factor in the PDF input area of conversion. One person said they used the Illiad output profile because it is 1024x768 like the iPad.

Good Luck!
