I am now in the process of converting this book (about South Indian Villages) from Archive.org and there are images published in the book. OCR wont recognize it but I need to know how do you come around this problem. Will you cut the image part and during proofreading add the image in the correct place or is there any other way to do it?

Before this I converted only fiction books so there wasn't that much proofreading in that. I use Tesseract for OCR and then theproofread/edit the result text in Libreoffice Writer and use the EPUB export functionality bundled with that. Then I will convert EPUB to AZW3 in Calibre to read in my Kindle Touch 2.

in advance

Sorry if my English is bad.
