Do screen readers generally tell you when something is superscripted or subscripted? Does Braille? Correct superscripts and subscripts can definitely be helpful for sighted folks with some other reading impairment, but how would a blind person know separate out meaningful superscripts such as from footnotes from the OCR program just superscripting some random chunk of text?

Kim, Melissa is exactly right. Please don't remove or change subscripts and superscripts, since they do provide information and they are part of the core content of a book.
Thanks for asking! Carrie

Kim, you should not get rid of superscripts and subscripts, assuming
they should be that way. Also, they are really a formatting thing, not a
character,.
