Thanks for the suggestion but Stanza outputs ePub files that I cannot read on my Sony PRS-505 due to automatically inserted soft hyphens.

For text-based PDFs, I suggest Calibre.

You might get a faster response in either the Apple or calibre sub-forums... this is the Sony eReader forum...

In my experience (limited mainly to Stanza and Calibre), Calibre produces the most readable converted text.

Though where pdf is concerned, I usually find it is simply better to leave the file in pdf form and read it that way (unless a particular pdf file is presenting a problem for my reader, making conversion the better option) because the conversion to epub usually messes up the formatting quite noticeably.
