know about the hardware and software powering Capcom's arcade titles

Amazon vs TheBookPatch
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I cranked up all the parameters of the Amazon version. I used full
color and premium paper quality. Somehow the quality is still not as
good as what comes out of the bookpatch printers.

One issue I found is that Amazon books (below on the right) are
slightly warped compared to the bookpatch (on the left).

Another way to tell the polish level is to look at the corners.

The bookpatch version corner (above) looks like it was carved in
granite. The Amazon one (below) is a little bit rugged.

The same kind of observation can be made on the opposite corner.

The bookpatch (above) is not pristine but not as beat up as the one
from Amazon (bottom).

Anyway, regardless of which version you pick I hope you will enjoy
it!

Take care.
