I don't have a complete answer on the software.
You will likely need some form of a text reader. (such as Text Bridge) And, the software to convert the text to the e-book format.

As to a scanner, you are going to want a heavy duty scanner, high speed scanner with an automatic feeder. The resolution isn't very critical.

Idealy, you would want a set of the "galley proofs" for the book, and not the book itself.
If you have the book, you will need to unbind it, and match up the pages correctly. Both time consuming and labor intensive.
