Valerie, thanks so much for the input, I really appreciate it. But this is one of those instances where I want a definitive answer from a Bookshare staff member, so we're all on the same page so to speak. (grin).

That is my experience, Judy. In the Nancy Drew books, the page number is usually on the bottom of the page on the first page of a chapter, but at the top and all the rest. Mis-pagination occurs frequently on those books if they are not aligned all top or all bottom. Sometimes it skips those pages sometimes it gives it two page numbers, but rarely is it correct. Like Cindy, I find it much easier to make sure all my pages are paginated if they are on the top, so if I have to do much modification, I move them all to the top. As a sighted reader I find it much more helpful to have the page numbers at the top anyway. I do a lot of things that are probably not mandatory, but they help me be complete and not have to worry about additional problems the tool may create. A couple of things I have been told have been “fixed”, but it doesn’t appear that way in my books, so I continue to do things.

I want to make sure I'm interpreting that correctly. That means that the converter works properly if and only if: all the page numbers in a book are consistently at the top of the pages or all the page numbers are consistently at the bottom of all the pages. Is that right? In other words, the converter doesn't work correctly regarding what it does with page numbers if we submit a book that has all the page numbers, but some are at the top of the pages and some are at the bottom. I would therefore assume we as volunteers really have two goals regarding page numbering. One, all page numbers must be retained and Two, we should always move page numbers so that they are all at the top of pages, or all at the bottom of pages if within the original printed book they sometimes appear at the top of the pages and sometimes at the bottom.
