Me too, like when a book has a preview of another book in the back, I put
"The End" on the real book if it is not there.

I add words all the time.
Things like.
"caption:", "box begin.... box end" and the like, and I also add the word
"chapter" at the begining of chapters that is of course if I can figure out
if it is a new chapter.

Most of the books I've been validating lately have big numbers at the start
of each chapter. I assume that for blind people, it's just a number on a
blank line, that you can't tell that it's meant to be huge, right? So I've
been putting in the word CHAPTER in front of the numbers. Yes, I know we're
not supposed to add words but if I don't do that, people complain as Donna
is doing, and I think she has a valid point. The author intends for people
to understand that it's a new chapter, so I'm helping the author out by
telling his/her readers that it's a new chapter. I think adding the word
'chapter' at the beginning of each chapter (if it's not already there)
should be allowed and even encouraged but Gustavo and the Bookshare people
may have a different opinion. Gustavo, what do you think?
My 2 cents, Carrie

Hi again, all,
Well, I imagine that this has already been discussed, but I am really
wondering what has happened to the chapter titles in bookshare books. All
of the books I have downloaded in the last several months have been without
them. Folks, I know this may seem like a petty detail, but especially for
academic or professional work, Bookshare needs to find a way to retain them,
I think, even if it means leaving those annoying page headers in. And even
for fiction, I find their absence highly annoying, I want to see what the
sighted reader, who buys the book at B&N is seeing, and if that means
"chapter 1" or a chapter name, then I want to see it too! I'm sort of
confused, because the chapter headings used to be there. If I've missed
something in the last few months I apologize, but I'd appreciate it if
anyone could fill me in.
Thanks,
Donna from MI
