Calibre and online sites can convert from PDF to Epub usually lose most of the format. I tried PDFElements, with similarly poor results.

Is there any service/app that actually works and converts a PDF to Epub in a way that resembles closely the original?

    @[email protected] when you try to read a pdf on a smaller e-ink reader, everything is reduced and almost ineligible. You want to preserve the main features (boxes, italics) but being able to have a fluid format

      @[email protected] Well, that’s what I figured. You technically can preserve formatting on EPUB but why would you? It’s not what the format is for, and most readers can support either. If yours doesn’t, look for apps or a software update.
