epub

I have a pdf ebook, a Technical book that conatins a lot of code.

Reading it as pdf is slow plus reflowing text in the pdf reader removes all the formatting.

I tried converting it to epub using calibre but that too removes all the formatting.

The only pleasant experience I have had reading a technical book on my phone is as chm but I can't find anything to convert pdf to chm(Found a couple of softwares but that didn't do a good job).

Has anyone had successfully experience in reading a technical pdf ebook on a android phone?
