Why does the bookshare tool remove page numbers from the document, why not just 
copy them to the ncx file.

  You are correct Kenneth,  any piece of hardware or software is regretably 
useful only to these who use them. 
  On the other hand,  the fact that the ICON handles page navigation of both 
bodytext and preliminary page numbering correctly in Too Far Afield', leads me 
to believe that Bookshare's page encoding may be correct: page numbers have 
been removed from the document file and moved to the NCX markup for navigation, 
which is what is supposed to happen. 
  Instead, I am still concerned about chapter headings.  I did find some 
problems in how I had normalized them in the source file.  I will submit a new 
replacement version soon.  I am looking forward to discover if Chapter heading 
are inserted in the NCX correctly this time.

  That, of course, is useful only to those who own such a machine, which I 
would guess has quite a hefty price.

  Hi Kenneth, The ICON by Levelstar and the sister product called Braille Plus 
from APH are handheld computers for the blind.  One of their many capabilities 
is to search and download wirelessly books directly from bookshare and to read 
them with a very nice DAISY reader.  They use the Eloquence TTS and have a 30Gb 
hard drive for storage.  You will find info on the icon at: 

  http://www.levelstar.com 

  Toll free: 800-315-2305. 

  I have covered the icon in my column for AFB's AccessWorld in November 2007.  
See: 

   http://afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw080602 

  There is an ICON discussion list.  Send a note to: 

  Icon-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 

  and enter 'subscribe' in the subject field. 

  Feel free to contact me privately if you want more info. 

  G.

  Okay, I understand that page numbers are stripped by Kurzweil.  So, I have 
downloaded the BookShare file and would now like to ask this question.  What 
device do I use to open this book so that the page numbers are revealed to me?  
Any help would be appreciated.
