    Ebook for a phone/tablet? If you're on an iphone iBooks can read pdfs.

    calibre

    edit: PDF's can't really be converted properly. They are just a terrible format for e-readers. Most e-readers can view them reasonably well nowadays though. What ebook have you got?

    Really, PDF conversion is a royal pain in the behind.

    I suppose you want to read the PDF on something other than a computer? If you're thinking about a phone/tablet/eReader, I suggest you'll run the PDF through PaperCrop (free and open sauce software).

    Very much so!

    Remember the old shareware motto? A software worth using is worth paying for. ;)
