Bu "masking the pages" to get rid of page numbers, do you mean adjusting the scan area or putting the edge of the book off the glass part of the scanner? I used to do that and it slows things down enormously, as well as not working very well because of page to page variability in the placing of the numbers. Finereader does let you crop the edges off the onscreen images, but this must be done page by page because of the aforementioned variability. This was probably the main factor driving my upgrade to later versions, which have the "don't save headers and footers" option when saving to Word. Perhaps there's a better way; if so I'd love to hear it.

As far as format goes, if these books are purely for your personal use, by all means do whatever suits you and your reading device. What works for someone else may not be the best for you.
