Your PDF is big because it is just holding an image for each page, probably in colour mode, too. If you scan into black and white format, you can save a fair bit of space (as long as your book doesn't contain any colour or gray scale images). If you want it to be small, you will have to convert the images to text using some OCR program (Optical Character Recognition).
