That is a good suggestion. But it sounds tedious to me.
ImageMagick can convert images to pdf files on the command line.
$ convert file1.jpg file1.pdf
And pdftk can concatenate them.
$ pdftk file*.pdf cat output combined.pdf
You can install them with:
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick pdftk

Im afraid you missed the point. The OP wants to make the images become text. If I did, excuse and correct me pls. Though I dare to say the described method will most likely be not put into practice. Without a trained monkey noone would make me go through this for a book. Well, the images are gonna be created using a digicam, so who knows...

I don't have pdftk installed, I think I'll stick with openoffice &
convert. Might be helpful to the OP though!
