Comment 7 for bug 1586827

Sorry for being rude attacking your program. I don't have any intention whatsoever of making anyone feel bad and I seriously appreciate the work you do. I want to make clear that I intent to improve your program and I'm proud of you. I thank you and I'm in a inferior and more ignorant position in this topic than you (you made a program and what I made?)

Now to the point. You missinterpret the problem. The ebook that I have has BOTH images and text. And it's displaying the text. Of course the text doesn;t look good and it's wrong... that's fault of the text, not your program. That's true....

 But then your program lacks the ability to switch to another behaviour in wich displays images...

To wich you answer (I imagine, correct me if I don't get your point) "that's not a real ebook".

Now, equations can't be displayed like that, because they are unreadable. I beg you to check one last time on my stack exchange question on this bug's post (up there) the images. You will see that it's impossible and dumb trying to read the text, but the images looks gorgeous.

I'm a newbie on this issue and you sure now more than me. There are many things I sure ignore about this. I speak with humility.

But I have major points I ask you to consider:

0)Why they "aren't ebooks"? They satisfy this definition of ebook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book.
From the 80 books I own in DJVU, all science books, I opened 11 and 9 displayed the text (
What do you mean when you say they aren't ebooks? They don't satisfy you? So that means that the majority of books that I own, aren't actually ebooks? That seems a very elitist definition. With my definition, I could view all my DJVU books, with yours, I? cant view them.

1) Is this about piracy on the bottom? You don't want people to view pirate scaned books? If it;s that then I resign to convince you.

1)How hard it would be to OCR a math book,considering math notation it's higly complicated on the caligraphical level? For example Tex and LaTex were in considerable part created to deal with math notation being hard to handle. It's impossible to ask computers to digitize a math equation correctly. They can see letters, but math equations contain bars, sums, subindex, integrals with upeer and down limits... It's not reasonable to ask for a digital version of a printed book. If the publisher doesn;t provide the original latex file then... Scanning it's much faster than typing. So we will never have math ebooks of most math titles with your elitist definition.

2) Scanned book it's actually more true to the editorial intent than text based. Yes, text based is more manipulable, but scanned looks exactly like the book in print.

3) There is a huge (the majority that I have I least) portion of ebooks that are contain scanned images formats that your app can't handle... Science books are mostly the format with scanned images (at least those uploaded to LIBGEN)
I know, I have mostly downloaded from free sites the books I own, so my collection is biased in "not ebooks". In this poor country in wich a dollar is 14 $ it's not affodable a math book. There is two alternatives: be ignorant or pirate.

4) It is not that hard and it will make a great difference for me and many people who read scanned books, who, as far as I know are on the majority. I have downloaded mostly scanned books.

5) What is hard about displaying some images? You can do it!\

Im very very sorry for being annoying. And I repeat, I don'twant to offend you. YOU ARE MY FRIEND.
