  1. OCR Scanning Errors – Many older Tamil PDFs uploaded by users have poor OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Words like "கிழக்கு" might show as gibberish. Solution: Look for "High Quality" or "OCR Cleared" tags.
  2. Not All Publishers are Onboard – Major Tamil publishers like Kavitha Publications or Vasantham are missing. You will not find every single Tamil book ever printed.

  4. Tamil Typing Search – Searching for "தமிழ் நாவல்" often returns poor results compared to transliterated English ("Tamil novel"). You must learn to search in both scripts.
