That's similar to what I'm doing. I'm working with PDF scans of old magazines from archive.org where they contain the OCR'd text (SumatraPDF will save just the text with Save As).
Sometimes they have an empty line between paragraphs, sometimes not. But it starts as a big hunk of text between the body and /body tags; no html tags. I thought body didn't allow text directly, that it needs to be in a p, div, etc. although epubcheck doesn't complain.
