--I do think bookshare policy is to leave in page
numbers and to put them in if they're missing. I've
found a couple of non-children's books that didn't
have page numbers in the actual books, and I've either
put that in the long synopsis or put in the pages in
brackets --( I'm omitting brackets henceforth,
however, because I've been given to undersstand that
they're annoying to whose who listen to books and I
realizedthat they really aren't necessary.) They
weren't textbooks, though.
Maybe the validator should reject books, especially
textbooks, that don't have page numbers, or release
them and post that a sighted person who can compare
the file with the actual book,and who is willing,
should validate the book so he/she can put in the page
numbers. If the book stays up for a long time without
being validated, maybe someone will reject it.
I agree that scanner should be more careful.The
minimum a scanner should do, it has been said here
time and time again, is to make sure all the pages are
present and numbered, that page breaks are present,
and that the copyright info is intact and accurate.
