Huh? Then how does one correct it?

In my opinion, you don't.

Question: how do you know whether the page breaks and page numbers are
correct if you aren't comparing the download to the print copy?

Mayrie,
I think you steps are excellent, only I do them in a
different order. If one reads the book correcting as
one goes, then the first six items on your list are
done while doing the last two, i.e., reading and
enjoying oneself. When I've finished, I do a final
spell-check and, like someone else mentioned, I
usually find a scanno I've missed; and I do a final
page-number check. I've found that sometimes I get so
involved in the story that I've forgotten to put in a
page break or page number or repeated the number.

Hi Nan,
I noticed your message when you posted it,
and have been
pondering it. When I started volunteering for
BookShare, I almost
made for myself the kind of check list that you are
talking
about. Early on, I always felt as though I had
forgotten to do
something. So, I'll give you a list of the things
that I try to do
with a book to make sure that it is in the best
shape that I know how
to make it. It is likely that others will either
add to, or subtract
from this list. I'll try to be concise, as a check
list should
be. If you would like more detailed instructions
for any of the
steps, just ask. I'm absolutely positive that folks
will help
you. They did me. The order in which you do things
is completely up
to you. This is just an idea. I hope that perhaps
it will help you
a little. Now, watch, I'll forget to put something
on the list, just
as I am always afraid that I'll leave some step
undone. My list will be below.
Peace,
Mayrie
Check that all copyright information is present and
legible.
Check that all pages of the book are present.
Remove headers.
Protect page numbers.
Protect chapter titles.
Seek out common scanning errors and correct them.
Do some sort of spell check.
Sit back and read, fixing as you go anything wrong
that any of these
steps missed.
Enjoy yourself!!!
