I can think of no other reason why someone would be reading scanned pdfs and irritated by their inability to select text.
fair enough. I can think of a few
- education level other than college
- scientific research
- non-scientific research
- technical research
- reading those books that google scanned (i don’t think they are OCR’d but maybe i am wrong)
- reading a page you scanned yourself, or that someone else scanned.
