Hi, Jill! It just really depends on how much of a perfectionist the scanner
and/or the validor happened to be. Perfectionism is an acquired sport, at
least in the case of Bookshare. <Smile> I'm a Braille Reader, too, so I
know it's annoying, but you'll probably eventually start overlooking it. Of
course, you can always re-scan it and re-submit.
