How did you make the pdf files you are trying to convert?
You should use the same "sources" for producing epub and other formats.

pdf is not a good choice for an e-ink reader, unless you produce several pdf files with various options, like 5inch, 6inch, 9inch version, small margins, large margins, small font, normal font, large font, serif, sanserif. Even then you end up with something like 3*2*3*2=36 versions and there will be people that will complain about your formatting, choice of fonts, line spacing ... .
A reflowable text file where readers can set up their preferred presentation on a reading device is much better IMHO.

If you need help formatting the file, just ask. This is Mobileread ;-)
