The result was still kind of a mess, but at least I think it was something workable. I could read it and follow it, if not easily. There were places where sentences would end midway through the page, page listings that were quite off embedded throughout in the document, and a bunch more issues. Not too good, but I think it could be improved quite a bit once I learn how to use openoffice.

There has got to be a better way though. The opportunity is ripe for an application that I can drag pdf files onto and get back perfectly sized reader format ebooks - one or in batch.

My wallet would snap open quickly for something like that. Maybe I'll have to create it myself.
if you do create something like that I'm sure lots of people would be willing to buy it
