What makes a good ebook from a PDF
An ebook is only pleasant to read if the conversion understood the book. Chapter titles should be headings, not big bold paragraphs. Body text should flow without breaks where the printed pages ended. Footnotes, tables and pictures should stay with the passage they belong to.
epubwise measures the type across the whole book to tell headings from body text, then explains how chapters are found and joined. It also handles scanned books, which most free tools turn into a mess.

Questions
Is an EPUB the same as an ebook?
EPUB is the standard ebook file format. Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo and most other readers open it directly.
Will my ebook have chapters?
Yes. Chapters come from the PDF's bookmarks when it has them, otherwise from its headings, and you get a contents list you can tap.
