Hi Pratik,
I kept the blank pages so that the pagination would be as close to the original
as possible. Since the pre-text pages are in roman numerals which Kurzweil
apparently cannot read, the final scan is reminiscent of the difference between
third age and shire reckoning except that instead of subjractin 1600 you add 30
to the text pagination. The blanks keep me honest. I just have to remember
to reset the settings every time I go to Genji.

That reminds me that I have a whole stack of Genji books sitting somewhere in
a box, packed away for the day when I'll get to buy a large house. I'm sure
they'll eventually make it into the collection.

Hi Amy,
Regarding your Genji project,
1. The pages with just a couple of letters may be blank pages, or they may be
pages that contain things that scanning software cannot interpret. That might
include maps, charts, pictures, Japanese characters, or any number of other
visual features. Unfortunately at this point there really isn't a way to
incorporate the sketches into the Bookshare files--right now the system is
handling text only.
I hope this is helpful and not too disappointing, and if you need more
Kurzweil tips don't hesitate to ask,
Kellie
P.S. It's neat that you are adding this cultural classic to Bookshare's
collection. One of the neatest things about Bookshare is the way it opens up
opportunities to explore literature from other cultures that might not
otherwise come to our notice.
