Abby Finereader not able to open multiple images
I was just about to go ahead with my scanned book pages saved as .bmp and load them into Abby Finereader for OCR conversion.

It turns out that Finereader can only open 1 image at a time. Luckily I found that you can go back into Book Pilot (software for opticbook 3600) and start a "Batch Processing" that will send all the pictures you choose to Finereader and then on to word. The whole process with under 400 pages took 10-15 minutes.
