The number should refer to the page number. Or, could you be mistaking the
end notes for the index. If that is the case the numbers refer to
superscripts that appear in the text and I would think that really would be
hard to
find. That is why I prefer footnotes and endnotes to appear as they occur in
the text. In a recorded medium like RFB&D that should be fairly easy to do,
but they never do it unless they are actual footnotes. In a scanned book it
would be a terrible job to move them to those locations. By the way, I am
right now in the process of scanning the index I mentioned. It is not as hard
to edit as I thought it would be. This also means that I am just about
finished with this book.

I am currently reading a book on my BrailleNote that has an index. Some of
the entries I would really like to look at but so far haven't found any
satisfactory
way of finding them. All I'm seeing is a number, and these numbers begin
again with each chapter but so far locating them has really proved very
cumbersome.

Hi Roger,
I would do the index. It is true that it will possibly never be used, but
most people using the daisy format cannot use word search. I hate indexes
too.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Should I scan the index?
I am currently scanning a book with which I am almost finished. In order to
get the best scan possible I have been scanning one page at a time and
reading
and correcting each page before I go on to the next one. As I approach the
index I am considering some things. Since I lost my eyesight twenty-one
years
ago I have never used an index and back when I was reading print books I
rarely used them. On the few occasions that I did use an index I was writing
research
papers and I was looking for specific information with no intention of
actually reading the entire book in question. It occurs to me that every use I
have
ever had for an index and every use that I can think of that anyone else
would have for an index can be accomplished much more easily with the search
functions
built into nearly, and possibly all, devices that are likely to be used to
read books in electronic format. These considerations plus the fact that if
I do scan the index, especially if I scan it the way I have been scanning
the rest of the book, I will be in for a really tedious and boring job, make
me wonder if I should bother with it. What are your opinions?
