I use a screen reader and it really does not bother me. I tend to ignore them very easily...years of experience. *L*

Like Cindy Lou, I eliminate them as I get to each page, or, being careful to save the page number, I copy and replace with nothing. I don't say "yes" to return to the beginning, though, in case title or author might be deleted from the front pages. If we leave them, the bookshare stripper takes them out, theoretically, but since they're not always exactly the same, it leaves some in and they serve no purpose but, I understand, they get in the way of people reading with Daisy; I don't know about Braille. A sighted reader can ignore them. Cindy> > Is it really necessary?
