Advice for two column layouts?
My dad has a HUGE collection of science fiction books/magazines from the 1950s that are starting to fall apart and will be going into the trash bin before too long. Just the thought makes me sad, so I'll be taking on the task of scanning his collection.
Almost all of the books use a two column format. What do I need to do to keep an OCR from just reading straight across column A to column B? I know that making PDFs is an option, but it would mean either making the image teeny-tiny to fit on my e-reader screen or paging back-and-forth to read the two columns... not something I really care to do.
