I realize that scans are important to you, but they simply are NOT to most of us, beyond their use as OCR sources.
The "us" seems to be a very limited crowd ;) Scans are very important to all of "us" who rely on texts they can verify. Without scans the scientific world (universities and similar intitutes) will simply ignore the Gutenberg texts.
I don't have a problem with archiving the images but I will not change the work flow I do (or recommend the change in DP) to get "archival quality" scans. It simply is not something I deem important to the work we do here.
Texts and scans, both are important. Combining them makes a valuable e-book. Because it isn't that difficult to combine them and offer them side by side for reading we should work on this issue to make it happen. -- http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | ,__o | _-\_<, | (*)/'(*) Key fingerprint = F138 B28F B7ED E0AC 1AB4 AA7F C90A 35C3 E9D0 5D1C
