Hi Paul. Well I scan two pages at a time on my old epson gt15000. I also use vuescan for the scanning, because it is rather difficult in fine reader express.
I experience that fine reader express has its lacks in e.g. if you scan double pages, sometimes it works, but fine reader express will not recognize them as 2 pages, to me it is a problem, because I like that there are a new page when there are a new page in the text. And then I feel columns that's not always correct. The OCR is ok, but there are a little more words that can not be read than in the professional version, but again it is also another price.
