Carrie, I'm responding to two questions here; I don't know how I missed this
one previously. As far as I can remember, all the N.Y. Times books have two
numbers; why your scanning program does this and Kurzweil does not, I do not
know. Perhaps someone like Jake does. Needless to say, I prefer Kurzweil's way,
but it's no big thing. Kurzweil says page and gives that number; it just
doesn't show on the version that appears in Bookshare. Remember, I'm only
speaking from a braille reader's standpoint. I have no idea what daisy does.
Actually in the case of American Wife, the two page entry was handy because
when I was asking the navigation tool to go to a specific page, the number it
uses is the so-called page number, not the print page number. I hope this is
clearer than I think it may be.
Now my real question: I have forgotten how I should label American Wife as I
return it. I will remove the Hold For Jill in the title, but should I then put
Hold for Carrie? Overall, it probably took me an hour to make the changes, and
I would like to feel free to do this to other books when I come across other
scanos that can easily be corrected. This is why I really don't want credit;
after all, I am already inconveniencing you by your having to put the book back
on step 1. If i rescanned a book, that would be a different matter. Thank you
for humoring my obsessive streak. Jill

Hi Jill,
Which New York Times book are you reading with 2 numbers after the page
break? I have never put 2 numbers on each page, I put just the page number. I'd
like to know how the book got messed up. I'll investigate if you'll tell me the
book title and author.
Thanks! Carrie

I find it very hard to believe that validators have been filling in all of
my page numbers without ever contacting me. When I check my books which I
admit I don't do too often, the page numbers as well as the chapter headings
have been there. This brings up another issue that I have been wondering
about. When I submit a book scanned with Kurzweil, the print page number is
the only number shown; however, I am currently reading a book scanned under
New York Times and after the page break, there are two numbers, one
representing the total number of pages in the book and the other the print
page. Personally, I prefer having only one number shown. Jill
