In reply to the discussion: The oddest book you ever read? [View all]Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)34. Ah, now I get it.  I remember looking into it
        a couple of years ago when I first found the site, and I forgot the details---possibly because I don't really understand scanning technology.  I know it all looks like it is typed in.  When I think of scanning pages, I think of it looking like a page.  But you made it clear as to how it works.
Thanks for the info.  I love that site too.  I remember the first time I found it, I was looking for a book that was supposedly the first book addressing pet abuse (right after Black Beauty focusses attention on the plight of carriage horses).  That book was called Beautiful Joe, and there it was---free to read.  Impressive.
