I fear I shall soon join you in mediocrity. I just learned what OCR means. I suspected it was more involved than installing Abbey Fine Reader and owning a scanner.

Could an "expert" list a few hints at doing it right?
You do the Abbey Fine Reader/scanner bit and then you A/B compare the paper endition to the electronic edition. Then you make sure you have a good clean HTML copy when all is done and use Calibre to convert.
