- Open up a blank text document.
- Set the page size to the same size as the Sony Reader screen (3.5" x 4.75" for the PRS-500 and PRS-505 screen) with the margins set to 0.2" (the minimum).
- Set the paragraph style to insert a page break after each paragraph.
- Insert the first picture to the paragraph and resize the picture to fit the page.
- Repeat with each picture, attaching each picture to a new paragraph.
- Save the document, then export it as a PDF document.
I hope this helps. As I said, it takes a bit work but when you do a page preview you can see how the ebook will look on your reader.

I don't think that's going to help. Since the text is in an image, resizing to fit the page will make the image smaller, and the text in the image smaller.
Depending on the margins you have you might try cropping the images to remove the whitespace around the text. There are programs that could automate this (depends on how consistant the margins in your JPGs are.) That will improve the text size on-screen, but I don't know if it'd be enough for you.
OCRing is
not a science at this time. Even commercially produced ebooks have tons of typos - and allegedly, someone got paid to go through them.
