Hi, Tracy, when I was going to school there were print page numbers and Braille page numbers and of course when it came to attending class the instructor would mention what I thought of as the print page numbers. In fiction one only had the Braille page numbers, but things have changed. I got a collection of stories by Patricia McKillip and the book was numbered like a text book (yeah, you guessed it, both print and Braille page numbering). Now when I'm reading for pleasure seeing that line of dashes and a page numbered attached definitely interrupts reading flow (for lack of a better expression). I've also come across books in Bookshare that have two sets of numbers (Ngaio Marsh Five Complete Novels has both for example). I personally don't see what the big deal is, but I do want the page count to be accurate, but more important to me is the accuracy of the text. Regards, Kim Friedman. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tracy Carcione Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 5:07 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Wish us luck I don't see the purpose of having page numbers put in by Word, or any other program. If I'm reading a book, the only page numbers I care about are the ones in the book. If I'm using the book in a class, or even a reading group, I want to be able to refer to, say, the passage on page 210. Ken Cross used to have fits about Bookshare page numbers, and rightly so.
