Then I use Adobe to merge all the files into one.

I tried ReadIris but found that it had way too many errors.

So I transfer the final pdf to my parallels with Abby finereader on it. I then use that to do the OCR and it is virtually perfect! Then I am saving as a rtf file and using calibre to import onto the sony.

Working great so far!!!
With the Snap Scan, you can continue adding pages as they are scanned. This way you end up with just one PDF file. I find that much easier to work with and don't have combine several files into one.

Also I have some MS Word macros that I use to help in the reformating (to my preferrences). The Word is also easier to find and fix OCR errors IMO. When I find common things I can use the find/replace function.
