But images in any eBook format, ePub or any others, will still not be reflowable and still will look like an image.

This I understood. This leads me back to the original question and to a new one: how can I change this PDF of scanned (they are probably photographs technically) pages to an ePub of scanned pages? I would definitely prefer going through this material with iBooks as the reader.
Using either Mac (preferred) or Windows, what's a good recommendation for an OCR program that does well with old typeset books of 1600s English? Is there one that specializes?
Thanks.
