Got a Sony PRS-300 reader, notice that it seems only to allow ebooks from Waterstone’s, W H Smiths and Borders to be downloaded.

I need a program to download to turn my paper book into a ebook?
the book “I” wrote 15 years ago and is typed onto paper. I am going to use my OCL to scan each page and upload to microsoft word. So I need a good program that will work with the ocr…any other help offered is welcome as to how to publish I am looking for is a good program to download so I can upload my paper book into ebook. My plans is to see if a publisher is interested. I wasn’t given the opportunity before since it’s 800+ pages, so I had to xerox all the pages X3 so I could mail the manuscript to the publishers which was very costly in postage and then there was the wait. Ebooks make things so much easier. So I will turn my paper book into a ebook and need to download that program “a ebook maker”
