I'd rather not use JPEG for pages that contain text.
I've found a workaround though -- there's a patch in the Tumble mailing

TIFF loader to pay attention to the Photometry tag, so both
"WhiteIsZero" and "BlackIsZero" 1bpp TIFFs load correctly.
So now I can scan pages with Xsane, and throw them into a PDF. Now onto
the OCRing...

Eric Smith's "Tumble" app, which
works great... but only for B&W TIFFs.
Look at the source. It supports jpgs, and you can mix 1bpp and jpg in a
document.
There is also a version around that handles .bmp
