I thought it was my color blindness that made me not able to distinguish between the red and green pixels as described (i only see red and black ones), but even with a browser extension that counters color blindness i can't distinguish more colors. Is this just me, or is the graph weird?

The graph seems to be alright, there are indeed red and (some) green pixels, looks like an issue with your extension unfortunately.

No idea of were the issue might land, but I can see the difference in colors.

I see green dots and a few lines of green dots. Did you try zooming in?

The graphs are very easy to read, albeit depend on your ability to distinguish between red and green.

Can you change the green channel to blue to better view it?

Fwiw (not color-blind) I can see red, green and black pixels. The graph doesn't look weird to the naked eye.

Find the interactive visualiser by scrolling down, and switch it to "Files in Anna's Archive [md5]". This will highlight the location of the green pixels in grey.

What do you mean by "more green"? I don't see any shaded green.

And I presume the black pixels are unregistered ISBNs?

If you look closely there are definitely some brownish pixels and some dim greens.

Kind of hard to tell what corresponds to what in these graphs, maybe if someone could point out Bookland (i.e. 978), it would be a bit easier to orient oneself?
