DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB (This was added in Finereader 10), FB2, HTML, TXT, PDF, DJVU.

Those are probably the most common, there are a few more (XLS, CSV) that probably wouldn't be used in your typical book.

Well when the same stuff gets said again and again (I mean, someone JUST posted this topic last week).... It sort of gets boring having to type out a lot of the same info when it was already covered about a thousand times. :P

Well again, just think of it in productivity. You spend a little now, and you just saved yourself HOURS and HOURS of headache. That means WAY more cookbooks can get out there! :P

And let's be serious.... proofing crappy OCR is boring stuff... proofing better OCR is much less boring. The quicker you finish, the more time you can spend actually READING the cookbooks (or cooking)!

You can a copy of Finereader much cheaper off Ebay or something similar:

As I said, just hunt for 9 or 10, they are perfectly fine. No need for 12 (I would actually recommend AGAINST 12). Stick with 9/10/11.

Heh, definitely don't fear asking. I can probably hunt down some other posts I made explaining all the questions. Although as you can see, I am quite technical. (Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea).

Also, if you use Microsoft Word (2007+), Toxaris came up with this ePUB Tools addon which really speeds things up: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=213372
