Indeed, this is an interesting observation.
The one comment I have to make though, is people who purchase the ebooks,
know they are getting the ebook for pleasure. Smile. With Bookshare we
don't know the intended purpose of the book we are submitting or proofing.

Hey, Judy;
If that is the case, as would be known by ISBN, it seems that leaves the
door open for a volunteer submitted copy of a different ISBN and the
search tool could be refined to rank higher or add a PQ designation in the
synopsis.
Just a thought...

the versions they are giving to Bookshare don't have pagination or page
numbering.
Many of the books being submitted by publishers are their electronic
versions, as in the type that would be read by an e-reader such as
Kindle. When I've visually looked at the books as published by the
publisher for an e-book reader Kindle or equivalent e-reader, those books
do not have pagination or page numbering.
So it's not that the publishers are being lazy in those cases. The
electronic files for these books that sighted readers get when they
purchase ebooks don't necessarily have pagination or page numbering.
