I've got a few old books laying around that I'd like to read on my Sony Reader. I've got a flatbed HP scanner. I've scanned a couple of books in, but I have to do so one page at a time. If I try to scan both open pages, the OCR in HP Precision Scan Pro reads the entire book from left to right. In other words, lines from the right page are interjected into lines from the left page.

Does anyone know if there is a setting and/or way to avoid this? I'd love to cut the number of scans in half, since this is tedious at best. (I'm sure I wouldn't be so eager if I didn't have a new "toy.")

Thanks!
