Hello kbaerwald

You are right, one does get what you say, and that was why I mentioned “press the spine down when scanning”, and… if even so you still get the same - and this is after splitting the images automatically in Finereader Pro (my assumptions where, scanning “inside” Finereader) or manually is the program can not do it itself (and then desckew each page in Finereader) -, than you have the option you are using now or… get a book scanner.
(note my advice was for testing, and it looks you have already done that)

For the book scanner I advise (and still do to all my costumers) the Plustek OpticBook (the 3600 version is enough if you can still find it, or any other one, if not) - and once more you will not need to destroy to original pBook (sorry for me, it’s always the last option).

Finally, the decision to keep the Finereader files is a wise one - even if it will translate into hundreds/thousands of megabytes per book - as you will be able to build the real thing - a reflowing text eBook in any format you want - in the future.
Just take care it’s a hog of time and work… but for some (projects) well worth it.

Best regards,
