Thanks for the advice so far.

I should explain that I don't have the original book. I got the pdf from a language learning site. It's already been scanned by someone else (please don't worry about copyright; the book was printed in the USSR which did not enforce copyright and only charged symbolic prices for books).

The scan that I have, has massive white borders top, bottom, left and right. My changes was an attempt to optimize the book for the Irex DR800.

1) So if 600DPI is too high a resolution, then what resolution would you recommend?

2) Yes you are right that the book is scanned as images, not as text. Can I change it to text, even though the original was scanned as images? How?
