: Re: Is there any software that facilitates scanning of a paper book into an ebook? I have some old sci-fi novels that are out of print and the rights owners are not creating them in ebook form.

The point of failure in all these toolchains is the OCR.

It is well worth the time spent tracking down clean, undamaged,
unfaded, non-yellowed copies with a good-quality print impression,
if this is at all possible.
If you can, get a local craft bookbinder to trim the spine off the
book with a power guillotine, and then use an autofeed scanner on
the sheets, so that every page image is exactly upright.

This maximises the chances of getting a very low error rate in character recognition. Time spent up front saves time spent later making corrections.
