As someone who has done a whole lot of archival scanning - size is largely irrelevant these days, and original image capture preserves the uniqueness of the works while underlaid OCR provides most of the search functionality one could want. It's not always 100% perfect for text cut and paste, but it is often very good.

Amen for your work, man. You have done a hell of a job archiving stuff.

Seems a most important reference is missing. I guess it would be a manual, maybe why not included.
'Technical Reference Notes'.
There are a few others, DOS II listing. 800XL Field Service Manual.
For understanding the inner workings of our Atari, the Technical Reference Notes is superb.
The Technical Reference Notes maybe, probably, already available OCR'd somewhere.
I'll look around.

For anybody (still interested (this post is over a year old) who doesn't want to download the entire torrent, here is a website with many of the same books available for individual download.

Or you could just mark the books you want to download from the torrent, you don't have to download them all.

Anyone still have these available for download? The above links seem to be broken.

I'm at 3%. 3 days left to download. There must be a faster corner of the internet closer to me. (And I get 10Mbs with Comcast).

I just opened my torrent client should be u/ling at 60Mbps. I'll leave it on for next couple days. You should have it quickly

Hey, it finished overnight instead of several days from now. Thanks to you and all other seeders. I left my client running today and it returned nearly 100% to others while I was at work.

Thank you for preserving these books.
