I got this scanned book with features such as two pages landscape scan, illustrations, warped text, and shades over the pages.

But, the OCR tests I have done grab the text pretty ok. The problem is the that I can not find a way to rearrange to single page layout, and that mess up the whole document.

I figure I either have to find an application that split the pages beforehand, or a smart OCR'er.

I am on OSX. I want to be able to read it on my e-reader.

Thankful for input!
