I discussed this at the Dutch wiki conference yesterday. If we really want to move in the direction of hosting PD works that are and can be quoted in WP articles, then we will need items per page, which in turn can imply paintings, engravings, or photos per page. This could drastically improve the wikisource reading experience while also enabling full support for “citation needed” where PD citations are available for the topic. we need a “.djvu on the fly” function for special books uploaded and curated on Commons and Wikidata. E.g. Book of hours, book of Maps, emblem books, bibles

I must admit I'm guilty of suggesting people just use PDFs, as it's so much easier to explain! Does anyone have any suggestions about how to convince people to prefer DjVu over PDF? It seems from the outside of the proofreading process that there's no problem with PDF.
