Reading my own question again, I understand I didn't phrase it
very well:
> Can this be combined with making the text searchable
> by web search engines, like plain web pages?

Here's what I envision, and my question is if you have
any plans going in this direction:

In the bookreader, one should not only be able to zoom
in and out or to activate the sound playback, but also to
view the OCR text and proofread the OCR text (like a
wiki page). To a search engine spider, only the view text
option should be available, and the buttons for previous
and next page should be plain links, so the text of each
page gets indexed under the right page URL.

The way I would want the bookreader to appear to a
search spider is the way my existing website looks,
this example being the first page of Hamlet, in the
Swedish translation of 1861,
http://runeberg.org/hagberg/a/0183.html
Here is the scanned book page, and you can scroll
down to the OCR text below.

If you google the role names "Voltimand, Cornelius,
Rosenkranz, Gyldenstern", you will see that it
is indexed by Google at this very URL. (English and
German editions spell the names a little different.)

I'd like to use the bookreader with its soft scrolling
and book page flipping for humans, but I don't
want to give up the direct per page indexing by
Google and other search engines. So, can the
two be combined? Did anybody try this?
