I'm going through this myself, mostly as an exercise to see how it's done, and how to get good results. Here's what I'm doing:
- Scan each page to text & format the text with a single line per paragraph. This helps greatly with controlling paragraph flow when moving formats around.
- Edit using Wordpad, save as text. This does preserve emdash as well as accentsd characters.
- Import into Word. I have a template set specifically for the prs500. I edit the documet using minimal formatting. The front page has a picture of the cover and a seperate title page.
- Each chapter gets a 'Heading 1'
- Download the 'sony.pdf' file from feedbooks.com It's a font test document. This will help you set your point size & font settings. You can also make one yourself easily.
- Print to PDF (many free tools for this as well as Adobe's). If you're using Adobe's you can put a TOC in there and it will convert to links in the PDF. That may be useful for some of you.
Overall, I'm very happy with this. The files are a bit bigger as a PDF, but you have complete control over the appearance. If you're happy with the built in font, you have the text source formatted in a way that's easy to bring into Book Designer to make an .lrf
