Hi Guido,
Are some of the page breaks hard ones and some soft perhaps? What does it
look like when you use Control+Shift+8 and use JAWS to look at the
character codes for the page breaks?

All, I have just downloaded:
1812: The Rivers of War by Eric Flint,
from the Baen Free library site in unzipped RTF format. The book contains
a valid copyright notice, an ISBN, specifies that this is a mass market
edition--meaning it is the etext of a paperback, and it appears to sport
page breaks of some kind. MS Word reports a total of 411 pages, while
Kurzweil 1000 reports just under 250 pages. I suspect that the document
may not use standard page breaks for pagination. If this were the case,
some editors may not detect page breaks at all.

Please respond to

Ok, with all this talk I am just curious about how we would go about
submitting them. The Baen books I have read none of them had page breaks
or
page numbers and no Copyright info included.
Is this something that Jim and the Bookshare staff are going to work on?
