Re-read the first messages of this topic ! Only one L5R module for OCTGN can exist at a time, so it's exclusive. It does not mean that they don't have a responsability and be accountable to the community. The fact that they are doing it for free does not mean that we don't have a say in that. I am saying that no communication is really bad, that it hurts the whole point of this thread, and of doing it for the community. I am not saying we shall have it this way or by this date. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.I am not demanding anything.
Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
