djvu is interesting, never knew this format! http://djvu.org/ is a nice
site know it in detail, with links to samples.

Just converted a 1028kb TIFF to a 326kb .djvu through the free online
converter <http://djvu.org/any2djvu/> ! PDF of the same file is similar to
TIFF in size. Last year I a lot of scanning into TIFF, and this surely
would have reduced file sizes.

contents of all types, and will now look for DjVu docs.
