True. As I said, you have to think about future uses of the data. To
give an idea of Delicious Library file size, I have 2,210 items in the
database, and these take up 2.1 Gb. (I include the cover artwork, which
is automatically downloaded from the Amazon websites. If the quality of
any such picture is too poor, I replace it with my own scanned image of
the covers, and this can run to 500 Kb per picture. If the pictures
were removed, I suspect there would be a substantial saving.)
You need to convert them them to JPGs.
I scan cover art to JPG at 50% scaling, 300 dpi, Compression level
about 1/3. The files come out to about 80k.
I also try and upload them to Amazon if the Amazon one is inferior.
You do a very good job of it. I've done maybe a couple of dozen;
you've done, I think, hundreds.
I've *thought* of doing it, but the legalistic verbiage and dire warnings
on the Amazon site have sent me away with my tail between my legs!
Well, they obviously haven't sued Steve de Mena into bankruptcy over it.
