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.

This is the issue we should try to solve, otherwise we will lose a
potential important ally, content and new userbase.

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)
- .pdf
Sound complete? Or are there other ways?
