Hi, Mary. The DAISY books maintaining page numbers...well, that isn't
necessarily a good compromise if you read your books on a portable notetaker
like a Braille Note or Braille Lite, as I do. DAISY books won't work on
those. *smile* I prefer braille for long periods of reading because I retain
more of what I read that way, and God knows, if it's for school, I've got to
retain as much of what I read as I can. *smile* Take care.

Its worth pointing out that the page numbers are still present in the daisy
format, at least; those numbers that some folks so carefully preserve are
used in that format, so all you need do is read with something that
recognizes the tags. Is that any less reasonable a request than asking
people to go strip headers by hand? That is an extremely tedious process;
the longer the book, the more tedious. And since many don't own
something like K1000 that will do a decent job in many instances, those who
don't would then be left to strip each page or live with what the validator
submits, headers, numbers and all. You're right. There are
different views, and one size will never fit all. But I do think the daisy
books with the numbers on demand are a good compromise.
