Thanks.
The problem is that I want to do more than text OCR. I want to scan pages with graphic content and have it get processed in an integrated way such that the graphic appear in the end document in ledgible fashion. This will require software which is smarter than plain OCR.
I'm not familiar w Fine Reader but I'll try to contact them for advice. I guess those who are publishing software are the logical place to go for this kind of info.

Fine Reader does exactly what you want. It does OCR, and keep images and text formatting up to the degree that you want. Don't forget, though that if you need graphics in your ebooks, the choice of format is dramatically restrained.
In my knowledge, only Mobypocket, Microsoft reader, Acrobat and Repligo can handle graphics that way. There is also Tomeraider and iSilo, but those formats are more difficult to create from a scanned document.
Since you did mentioned that you are new to ebooks creation, I must point out that if you try to skip the OCR step, and scan directly graphic pages in a PDF or Repligo document, which can be done easily, you'll end-up with much bigger documents, and I mean MUCH bigger if you want a very legible copy.
