Hi Jill,

I once uploaded a book with just the page numbers, with no indication that 
some pages were blank.  It got put back on the check-out page with a note 
telling me to supply the missing pages.  Since they were blank, I then 
indicated this on the blank pages and it went through.

Scott, I wasn't talking about removing blank pages, just about putting such
a phrase as "this page is blank" on the page. I would also be sure that this
page had a number if this were necessary to preserve continuity.
