>Those omnibus and DC Finest rips/scans
As OKC, Glorith, DreamGirl, etc. - all those previous incarnation, even if they had purchased the copy, they never 'duped' released one of the classic digitals if it had been issued by someone else (usually Booster, in the OG digital ripper days, but also it became an apparently personal thing between Shadowncat and, at that time, Glorith). Something like Wednesday morning's History of the DC Universe #4 did happen in the past but that happened with every group, even Empire despite their efforts.
Part of what is going on now is that Marika is re-releasing some prior say DreamGirl rips or prior AnHeroGold rips. Not sure if these are replacements from DCU Infinite and I can't be fussed enough to dig into that. Some of the files are larger than previous releases, some are actually smaller than say "Glorith-HD" releases in some cases. Again, I'm not seeing personally an advantage to one from the other but my OCD is forcing me to keep both - at least for DC stuff.

What seems to be happening here, which is why these are getting the hybrid scans, is that the covers, indicia pages, TOCs, any introductions and other new material is being scanned and the digital single issues (for example that made up that Crisis book, many of which were OKC/Glorith/DG rips to begin with) are being interspersed and not-rescanned from the actual Omnibus HC or DC Finest TPB, and thus those are not being chopped up/damaged to scan.
I do agree this is a great and sensible way to do it - where this can be done, but a few of those books are new material and will require being destroyed to get. The Crisis book is great because it's a reading order collection in a handy digital file. But DC hasn't solicited Part 2 yet.
