Is there a version of the Calibre ebook/epub doc converter for
OpenIndiana?
Or any other SW that can convert a PDF book to epub?

Epub (or other ebook formats) are much more readable on smartphones
than standard PDFs ususally are, due to the text reflow capability.

So I'd like to be able to convert even large pdf docs to some ebook
format, so I can take large manuals along on trips.


Sadly I don't think it's been built on OI. There are Linux, OS X and windows version - I guess you could install Ubuntu inside KVM and try it
there?
It's an amazing program.

Just looked at it, it requires PyQT4 and that means QT4... Is there a
prebuilt QT4?


yes, there are gcc and Sun Studio stdcxx based in OpenIndiana SFE repo. I tried to built Calibre few times many months back but it has more dependencies you need to solve and I had not enough energy to finish it.

I recommend to go with GCC builds of libraries in this case if somebody wants to do that.
