You might want to get clear in your own mind the capabilities of epub vs ibooks.

To my mind, epub is more for e-ink readers whereas ibooks are for tablet computers. Both have their advantages and limitations, but they are not the same, though derived from the basic epub source. Its important to make sure the client does not imagine full motion video or animation in e-ink books, for example.

PDF is a terrible source, even plain text is better because you don't have to rip anything out. As for the text size problem, you may be able to look at epub in Sigil and see what is making the text small. That problem should be relatively easy to see for a web developer. However rooting out hundreds or thousands of extra entries will test your patience and sanity. Hopefully regular expressions are part of your toolkit. They can reduce insanity to mere extreme aggravation!
