Toxaris,
Thanks for the idea. I think calibre used OCR, as it converted the text into images.

Still hitting the same problems:

- Duplicate copies of the cover
- Numbering. It only shows x (1, 2, 3 or 4) of 4 pages, even though there are over 200+ pages.
- Margins. Too large, extra left alternating with extra right, and overall too much around each page.

It is still readable, but I would like it to be a better conversion.

If it's not against the site policy, I'll post the original pdf and the epub conversion that resulted from Calibre. Maybe someone can advise of a better technique.

Original book:

Thanks.
