AFAIK, IA always produce the jp2 files by himself.
I suggest GLAMs to upload zipped folders of jpegs, so IA can do his magic and produce a book viewer and a PDF as well as the jp2.

The problem for me is that librarians and other people who are genuinely interested in Wikisource and IA don't understand why
- they upload a good scan on IA
- see a good book on IA, via the viewer

This is the issue we should try to solve, otherwise we will lose a potential important ally, content and new userbase. Aubrey
Definitely!
On a related note: most (all?) IA-scanned books have e.g. *_jp2.zip files containing all the original scan images, but is there any standard for user-uploaded books? Like your librarians above, I assume they're uploading individual jpg/png files? Do these get combined into a single zip? I'm thinking that they don't, and that ia-upload needs to provide the option of using any of the following sources:
- .djvu
- _jp2.zip (there's also _jpg.zip and _raw_jp2.zip, but I guess we
don't need to use them?)
- *.jpg + *.jp2 + *.png (i.e. use all images in the item, apart from
_cover_image.jpg)
Sound complete? Or are there other ways?
