Thanks Harry! OK I am trying it with Abbyy FineReader. That is one amazing piece of software. The text is in a mix of Russian and Swedish and it hasn't missed a letter so far.... Maybe I might even succeed in turning this book into an ePub... Very cool.

Of course, as you know, any type of educational material has a deliberate layout which can be hard to retain through conversions. Columns, bold text, info boxes etc.

I think that for a normal novel (read and chuck away) I'd be done a long time ago. But this book is more like a reference. On the other hand, if I can get this right then I can fix up any book!
