Maybe there are copy protections that can't be cracked yet. But even then it would be more efficient and accurate quality-wise, to process the digital data. Manually in the worst case. Still better and faster than OCR.


If they have an ebook, they don't need to convert to EPUB for some ridiculous advocacy-of-the-EPUB.

THEREFORE I MUST HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE CASE WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE THE EBOOK, when I mentioned OCR.
