ABBYY has been sending me emails about a holiday sale on Finereader 11 @ $99. Do not know if that price is still good or when the sale ends, but if anyone thinks they'd use the software frequently, a very good price! I already have Finereader 10 and don't feel the need to upgrade. I love using Finereader for OCR.

Personally, I have never had much luck with PDF to ePub conversions through Calibre, but I also have never tried it with a 1 dollar scan PDF.
