When I am validating or scanning, I take the time to combine words, placing
them either before or after the page break and accompanying page number. I was told some time ago that this was fine if I wanted to take the time and I do as I am a braille reader, and doing so makes the reading more pleasant.

Sloppy for readers? Isn't knowing the book pages part of the fact that these books are books, after all and not just text documentation? :) Page numbers will help in circumstances where not having them could be a hindrance, suppose I wanted someone to find such and such on page 125, and with the page numbers quite visible I can go to that page and have a sighted person go right to the same page and find x y and z, or even d e and f later on in the same chapter.

First, it adds trouble for volunteers attempting to preserve page numbers and page breaks, chapter titles and so forth. Second, the presence of titles and headers or footers in books in the collection simply make the resulting product seem sloppy to the reader. I do understand about time lines associated with grants. I fully support bookshare. I have always done so. The length of time for fixing of some of these basic issues is what makes me speak up. Many many things have simply gone on for a long long time. E.
