An unintuitive secret of reading books on computers: reading PDFs with original typesetting is much better than reading ebooks, which treat text like a 4chan shitposter and have impoverished reading software.
But… where to get the PDFs?! A survey & suggestions for future work:

Sorry, I'm not seeing the problem with the epub. Both versions are quite legible. I don't think the PDF's page layout is adding much.

Suspect you’d feel differently if you tried to read a dozen pages like this. The epub’s lines are too long, slightly too loose, and have terrible justification leading to irregular word spacing rhythms.
Also depends if it's small paragraphs, walls of text, mix of picture, examples, data, formulas. Pdf is great for all, pub is often miserable.
I dislike pdf though as it's a proprietary format

I usually set to ragged-right, and play with text size and page-border to find comfortable feel.
