Agreed. The best pdf conversions I have gotten is to use Acrobat Pro converting to html 3.2 but it will have broken sentences. I fix those in Word using regex expressions. If the pdf isn't tagged though Acrobat Pro wont convert it. I then have to used Mobipocket creator which creates a less clean html file but I work my way from there.
