You may have tried this already, but it seems that Hathi also offer PDF-
and EBM-formatted data at the volume level. Do those formats include the
OCR text? I have seen this done in PDF before (and I've done it myself):
the files contain bitmap page images but the OCR text is also there, in a
layer beneath the images.
