OK, I'm willing to listen to how I can improve any "book files" (whatever they are) PG provides today. We get that question on DP all the time. We tell them to email PG. What great secret do you share with them that the rest of us aren't privy to? On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 7:14 AM, Jim Adcock <jimad@msn.com> wrote:
Another view is that we have a mess that defies improving texts;
An interesting view but one which cannot be defended: For the great majority of book files PG provides today, I, or anyone who cares, can greatly improve the texts on EPUB and MOBI devices for a few minutes work, taking those files from "virtually unreadable" to "about as good an EPUB or MOBI file one can find anywhere." And one can do this without looking at page images, simply because the great majority of PG files currently contains the same half-dozen "formattos" over and over again. Why obsess over a half-dozen scannos when the typical PG file contains literally about a 1000 easily-fixed "formattos" which keep the books from being read ?
