Not sure exactly who is doing what re Kindle support on archive.org, but something new is happening there.
"something" might be happening, and it might be "something" that "someone" wasn't bothering to do before now, but it most assuredly isn't anything _new_...
I downloaded a "Kindle" book from archive.org "at random"
what book? and what was the exact method by which this "random" selection was made?
and what I find is much more readable than what I have found there in the past
can you be less specific? i mean, seriously...
-- clearly some new OCR technology,
archive.org uses abbyy finereader. always has.
readable, but surprisingly the OCR doesn't bother to "heal" all the linebreaks found within words.
thank you for your "summary", but without any evidence for your points, it doesn't mean much. there are certain things that archive.org and/or amazon.com could be doing to make those books useful and beautiful and powerful and accurate, as i have been documenting in my current series... whether archive.org and/or amazon.com _is_ doing those things, or not, i don't really know -- or care... -bowerbird
