3. Reconverting the edited HTML text to its final EPUB format, which will hopefully reflect the editing done at the OCR stage.

It sounds very laborious, also considering that I have quite a few books, but I'll give it a try as soon I am sure I am going in the right direction, because I am totally new to all these OCR niceties. Do you suggest a particular OCR software?

Thank you for your help and comments

If you had not guessed, PDF (anyway) is a pain.

Not all PDF is images. Open the Pdf normally. Select some text. Click Copy.
(paste it into a New Notepad file as a final test.


Success! You have a convertible document (without OCR) candidate.

No, you have an image that will need to be OCR'd
OR
consider getting a large format tablet that will show PDF to avoid the pain for those documents.
