Generally, I do 100 pages in 20 minutes.

What is the optimal setup to use the OCR, and how precise is it?

I use 300 DPI grayscale and it works fine enough.

Is the scanner efficient with lightweight paper backs without adding additional weights to the cover?

Yes.

I can't agree. I use Abbyy Finereader and the accuracy is excellent on all books. I am
very demanding about the books I create and I still only get an average of one error (counting errors such as a single quote instead of a double quote or a space where it shouldn't be) every two or three pages.

Regarding the scanner: I am very impressed by this thing. What I like the most is that the manufacturer really thought about how would one go about scanning books, and made the operation as smooth as possible. Basically, I just set the thing up and then it is only a matter of turning the book around and pressing one button. The only thing that could be improved is the reaction to incorrectly scanned page (if I delete it, it won't influence the page count so automatic rotation becomes messed up), but that is easily fixed by re-scanning a page twice.
