[Blindmath] Question about converting Math Book Content

[John Gardner]

Hi, what is the problem with converting this book?  Infty Reader has 
proven to be very good at converting things that are more or less 
standard scientific content.  Some modern books that use lots of fonts, 
cute cartoons, etc, have not been so easy to convert, and the Infty 
group would like to see examples, so if this is the problem, I would 
appreciate getting some examples from you.

It is also important to note that one needs to be careful to make Infty 
Reader work properly.  If you must scan from paper, you need to scan at 
600 dpi black and white mode and avoid dark regions around the edges.  A 
good 600 dpi clean scan with white margins normally gives excellent 
results for content that isn't too cute.
