Interestingly I still get all sorts of issues when converting from PDF to TXT. My aim was to just grab the text and then do the formatting with an editor like vi. Strangely the txt has many odd artefacts like double L's appearing as on L followed by a few strange graphic characters.
I do understand that PDFs are very poor as a container of text but I thought I might be able to convert my pdf files to epub (or even just txt) with the intention of picking a suitable ereader - I guess I'm stuck on getting one that can display the pdfs well.
