EPUB lets text reflow for different screen sizes. The best source is a PDF with selectable text and a simple, single-column reading order. Scans and complex magazine layouts usually need OCR or manual cleanup first.

Select EPUB
Upload the PDF, choose EPUB and start the conversion.
Test reading order
