In other words it takes much less time for developers to do some programming to save a ton of time for all the readers.
They must have programmers working for them already so the only reason I can think of why they are not implementing this feature is because of ignorance that it could be extremely useful, so that all we have to do is notify them of the extreme usefulness of such implementation, and it takes numbers to notify them. So we need a petition.

There are already people who clean up these raw scans and OCRs -- they're at Project Gutenberg. Archive provides the source and they do it as quickly as they can, to keep these books from disappearing. PG provides a quality final product, often from these very sources.
No problem with letting them know what you'd like, of course, but I don't think Archive is interested in doing that.
