willus: I scanned the book as a PDF, ran it through Briss, then used Acrobat DC to add an OCR layer.

pdurrant: Exporting the text from the PDF is not an option. The document has too many quotes in foreign languages, including Greek, using the Greek alphabet. Also, the OCR made quite a few mistakes on the footnotes. I don't think that Kindle runs its own OCR but rather processes the OCR layer in the PDF, adding spaces.
