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
These are all academic reasons that are close enough to my speculation.
- reading those books that google scanned (i don’t think they are OCR’d but maybe i am wrong)
Perhaps for a college assignment? Why else would you need to select the text?
- reading a page you scanned yourself, or that someone else scanned.
Like for a college assignment.
lol.
if this was for a college assignment, i would give you half a credit for trying to bring your original argument home.
Maybe yhwx has a ‘thing’ where he just likes to select text while reading… (FOR A COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT)
