For scanning books, I use an oversized flatbed scanner (11x17 in), putting two pages at once on the platen, launch Adobe Acrobat Professional (v7-9 work), click file | create pdf | from scanner | select scaner device, choose custom scan, check OCR, and proceed to scan. Take care to hold spine down on platen, two hand. With a little practice you can get perfect PDFs, side-by-side pages, searchable, annotatable.

Recommend scanning only public domain books.
