What would be the most efficent, easiest way to convert it via Calibre to read on a Kindle?

Are your books already scanned? If so, how, and what file type were they saved as? What are the obvious reasons they cannot be OCR'd? Not so obvious to me. If you don't OCR and correct the book, you will have pictures only and quite a large file.
Reference 1dollarscan - don't let the name fool you. It is not $1.00 per book. It is $1.00 per hundred pages. Then you have to pay to ship it and of course, the book is cut up for scanning. So if you have a 1200 page book it will cost you $12.00 plus. If an eBook is available it may be cheaper to purchase then sending it out for scanning.
