Mike,
i answered this question yesterday

djvu is a "lossy format"

if you take a 300dpi pdf & convert to 300 dpi djvu, you lose resolution and the text is blurry.this is due to th compression technique djvu uses.

if you wind up the resolution of the djvu to 400dpi the loss of quality is very small and the text is much sharper & jut as good as a 300 dpi pdf.

when i finish scanning the remainder of the aussie coco magazines i have and it will take me about 3 or 4 weeks maybe i will upload a pdf version of one just for you to do some tests on it yourself.
