not being able to ctrl-F a textbook or have click-to-chapter links sure makes studying harder these days... and any scanning software worth it's salt will at least do the bare minimum OCR automatically...

I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed "book" full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn't have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent

Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere
