Wow, it's great seeing more of the Internet Archive back in operation. I was so disgusted at what happened to them. This amazing library helped me to find electronic copies of out of print books that I've wanted to read for decades. These are books that I honestly never thought I'd be able to read, short of purchasing used copies of the books and spending hours of my time scanning them. I can't express enough my thanks for the hours of joy I've received from this service after finding books that I thought would always be inaccessible to me as a blind reader.

Tip of the day: When it comes to #PDF documents, what you see and what is actually there can be two different things. Just because you can read words in the document doesn’t mean it is searchable. Or perhaps you have a searchable #PDF but it’s still not found in a search in #DEVONthink. Here are a few ways to deal with such #PDFs. #macos #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday devontechnologies.com/blog/202…
