`hello, I don't have experiences with readers so, I can't compare but I use abby finereader for the mac.
I can't say if this is the best because: you can't sen preferences and the progress of the ocr-process isn't that accessible. However , I use it to scan books with me cannon 700f lied and it gives quit good results. Some other disadvantages are: the program can't ocr automatically new scanned pages. Also, with large pdf-files (+-100 MB) the system crashes. This don't mean that you lose some text I think but You have to confirm that you have seen the error. Another disadvantage: they are not hurried to brine new opiates. e.g. I was announcing the crash with big files and they advices me a downgrade (What I haven't done). The website of abby finereder express for the mac is: http://www.abbyy.com/Default.aspx?DN=6d4713f2-965c-4e8c-96c8-00158b569120&l=English&adxSearchText=mac&Submit.x=0&Submit.y=0 good luck!
