A blank space/blank line doesn't necessarily mean a break in the text. A break
in the text is where, for example, you have a sudden scene shift like the
following.
Jenny was curled up on her sofa by nine, sharing a plate of taco chips with
her dog Harley.
[blank line]
"I want a double shot expresso," Tim told the clerk.

What do you mean by a break in the text? When there is a blank space? Barbara

Hi everyone, I’m so sorry for the all of the confusion that asterisks
have caused. I have met with our Collection Development team to come up with
one rule that both volunteers, vendors, and staff will follow from now on.
Asterisks should only be used to show a break in the text. One single asterisk
may be used to show a very large break, a doodad, or decorative object in the
text used to show a new speaker, a change of scene, etc. It should not be used
to separate chapter titles from the text, whether or not they start partway
down the page or don’t have the word “chapter” in front of them. There may
be exceptions to this rule, but please contact me or the collection development
team before guessing. As always, we are dedicated to making sure that
Bookshare volunteers, staff, and vendors are on the same page (heh, sorry)
with instructions. We want to make the process as consistent as possible so
that we ensure the highest quality books for our members. We take into account
changes in the conversion process, better understanding of our reading tools
and members’ wishes, as well as copyright law when making this kind of
decision. Best, Madeleine Linares Volunteer Coordinator Bookshare, a
Benetech Initiative 650-644-3459 volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
