Converting a scanned book from 1DollarScan to ePub
Hello guys,

This is a sample page from one of the books scanned using 1DollarScan (600 dpi):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j18r16ed7t...0Page.pdf?dl=0

I was thinking of trying Custom Book Scanning for the following reasons:

1. They offer ePub/MOBI for $10 more.

2. Their PDF scan is supposedly 1200 dpi.

I saw posts of users here trying to convert their PDF to ePub by first converting it to HTML by Abbyy Fine Reader.

Here's that page converted to HTML (Please refer to attachment).

1. Based on the results, I feel that an ePub would be terrible for my book.

2. Also, I read that scanning with higher DPI hurts OCR. Is that true?

The main usage of these eBooks are just for text searching. I would have hard copies of the same books.

Would really appreciate any comments on this.. So sorry for the long post!
