Re: Brand new to making an ebook and need help
I have had a look and run some tests. I think the problem is the quality of the scans. Can you try a 600dpi mono JPG scan again but scanning slower as you pull across the page. And another sample scanning top to bottom not left to right. I will post some of the results I got with your previous sampl...

Re: Brand new to making an ebook and need help
Ok I am assuming you have the PDS-ST415-VPS Vupoint handheld scanner. The other models either don't scan 900dpi or have Abbyy OCR software bundled.

Re: Software question
gphoto2 would be my first recommendation but you are using Windows which rules that out. From a quick look at the Canon EOS utility it may suit your needs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0CX_3tguXI With VLC you can select open capture device and select you camera and take stills.
