Hi Bob,
If the short lines are preceded by paragraph marks, they will make for
awkward reading for even discerning users of synthesized speech only for
reading, they will make users of braille displays have truncated lines as
well, and people who can't use visual cues for paragraphings are not the
majority of Bookshare users. And if a young person is reading a book, if
it's me proofreading the book, I don't want to give the impression that
books are published with paragraphing like that created by scads of
improperly placed paragraph marks.
Just my opinion.

I think I would leave 'em as they are.
Long lines don't effect Braille, notetakers or speech. They will take what
they need and wrap accordingly.
Just my opinion.

Hi everyone,
Could Scott or anyone tell me if text should go across the full width of the
8 1/2 page? Some lines do and others are short, just as in the book itself.
Thanks.
Tim
