Monica,
Take heart. You will be able to see thehard work reflect in Bookshare's
final books in the future.
Cindy, you should not be discouraged enough from preserving the
font/formatting that you do.

Hello Monica,
Actually I have seen examples of text that has been in different sizes.
Italics are also retained.
Bold I believe is not, but with the propensity of some of the recognition
engines to pick up bold where there shouldn't be any, that's probably a good
thing.
