It might look decent but I would suspect that when you open it up in Sigil/Calibre you will find either a bunch of nauseating code, or just a bunch of images of each page, that may cause problems in different readers/apps/systems.

Tread carefully!!

Thanks, then I guess I won't be bothered with trying to manually link hundreds of footnotes, that would be a waste of time.


Even those really bad manually scanned books with slightly yellow/darker pages were OCRd correctly, with obviously a few characters misread, because the pages were not aligned and it wasn't in English.


Other than that, when I go to edit in Calibre, the only errors that I get are the missing rules in the main.css. Even then, if I just send them to my Kindle Paperwhite 4, there are no issues whatsoever.
