The Braille translation machine puts numbers on every page, but they do not
coincide with print page numbers.  You cannot get as much on a braille page
as on a print one, and soome have said they would like the print numbers as
well for discussion groups with sighted people.

re the posts saying reading-for-pleasure readers
perhaps don't need page numbers. As a sighted reader,
I like need page numbers so that in case my bookmark
falls out, sort of know what page I was on. Earlier
posters have said that they use symbols like asterisks
or other marks, though, to indicate where they left
off in a book, so I suppose perhaps page numbers
aren't as important in novels -- except it students
are writing papers on the novel. But what to Braille
readers do if there are no page numbers and they want
to continue where they left off readig a book? And
people who listen? Can you "go to" a symbol to get
where you were?
