Thanks again.
Most OCR packages have a recommended range of resolution, including a maximum. Whether or not (or how much) it hurts the process is debatable, and likely depends on a lot of factors. But beyond about 300 dpi, it doesn't really help.

Don't most book scanning services include an OCR option? It's a heck of a lot easier to covert a Word file to epub than PDF.
