Anybody know about OCR into epub format ?  For me, that is a vastly superior format.

I've been reading a lot of ebooks from the library, and I'm noticing that some OCR errors keep slipping through.  A character in the book I'm just now reading is rendered as Former and Fortner on facing pages. So don't expect even good OCR to leave you with nothing left to proof read.

        Dear Friammers,

        I have a 400 page type script, double sided that I would like
        to scan, and then edit. Fedex will scan it for a bit over 100
        dollars.  They will put it into a word file for free, after
        that.  No guarantees.    Does anybody know of a better deal in
        Santa Fe, or if we mailed the type script off anywhere?  The
        quality of the OCR software is my most urgent concern.  Are
        there some REALLY GOOD ONES?  Would it be cheaper for me to
        buy the software myself?

        Lemme know,

        Nick
