Hi, Kenneth. I do understand your point of view. As an educator, you need accurate scans with page numbers. On the flip side, many children's books and some other types of books do not have print page numbers. These books couldn't go into the Bookshare collection if page numbers were required. I suppose we could add page numbers, although I don't know what the publishers might think of us doing that. Also, the book I just scanned has come out as a 99.87 percent accuracy scan, but none of its page numbers have scanned. I could number the pages, and I'd be guessing since I don't know if the actual book starts on page one or some other page as some books do. It has a foreword, and I think the book actually begins on page 13. I can't verify it though because my scanner just won't recognize any page numbers. I don't have a handy solution and am trying to describe the experience from my perspective. I would like to find a way to compromise so we're all happy.
