when you run the OCR save it in some format that you can edit.
e.g. MS Word or RTF
Then set the pagesize to 90X130mm (check threads about page size)
You can then create a PDF or try getting the RTF onto the reader (though that can be problematic)
My best solution so far:
1., OCR -> RTF
2., Open RTF in WordPad, select All, set paragraph format to something simple like left justified, 0 margin
3., save

this should work on the reader... if you're lucky it'll be usable enough
Otherwise you'll probably need to play around with it manually
it depends on how simple the layout of the original textbook was.
