I would aim at adjusting the level to make the background pure white. You should be able to do this by adjusting curves so that the text itself doesn't become too washed out.
Reducing to greyscale may make a JPEG a bit smaller, but if the page is all essentially text (not greyscale images), reducing the 4-bit greyscale and saving as PNG might work even better.
Could you attach full-size page images, not already reduced to a smaller pixel size? I'd be interested in having a play this evening.
