Well I don't do braille if I can avoid it, so consequently the books I enjoy are via audible feedback, and as such I can become annoyed if there are too many interruption that tend to break the flow of the text. Saying that however, I guess I would have to admit, for anyone doing research, they would probably find them helpful for coming up with associated material. This situation brings out the beauty of reading material like this on the Internet where in lieu of the footnote markers links can be used instead. You may have noticed that I carefully tried to avoid using the word reading above, as in the past we've tended to get into protracted arguments about whether reviewing an audible book, or text with synthesized speech qualifies as reading.

When I upload books after validation I put comments for the reader, e.g. "contains dialect," or "English spelling and grammar," or "contains profanity" in the long synopsis. My understanding is comments in the comments space at that point just go to the administrator, formerly Gustavo. And one could point such comments in a review, which is what I was thinking of if the constant footnote numbers, a hundred or more in each chapter, might annoy a blind reader if hearing them interrupted the flow. Elizabeth says she has no problems with such, though, and so far I haven't heard from anyone else. Cindy
