Thanks for your recommendations - it looks like many arguments speak for the direct usage of FineReader Pro.

PDF is my target so I spent some time with that. Unfortunately your method of choice (flatbed with double-page scan) gives bad results without OCRing the images. I have skewing etc. and the image does not look good on the eReader.
This is why I cut the paperbacks and scan it with the Canon P-150.

Currently I use the the mixed text-image output that FineReader delivers: the reading quality on my iRiver Story HD (1024x768) is acceptable and I still have the Finereader files for going further into epub production at a later point in time (if required). O.K. the file size is 4-9 MB average but the handling on the eReader is smooth.
