You seem to be unaware that you can get the text for a single page from the Internet Archive djvu files, through the djvutxt command and the -page option.
holy crap... i did not know that... i figured that there _had_to_ be a way to do it, since the .djvu knows the text on a page, but i didn't know how. how/where exactly does one issue this command? -bowerbird p.s. james, if you could still zip up your files, that would let me splice in your corrections...

Wow! It's like they think a book is a sequence of page images. Which I guess is OK if you just want to be an archive of page images. But there's so much value they could add!
If you read the whole page it discusses pulling djvu text further down. On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 6:15 PM, Da Badger <badger@nyc.rr.com> wrote:

Just read the manual, e.g. google djvutxt (first hit, http://djvu.sourceforge.net/doc/man/djvutxt.html) for more details. Search the DP forum for djvutxt for a few simple shell scripts using djvutxt.
