Certainly my submissions, which are from Kurzweil, have page breaks and page numbers in the appropriate places. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I remember going through this same discussion about Kurzweil and Daisy before with somebody with textbooks (was it you Dr. Cross?) voicing the same concern. The concern is that .brf files also seem to have some kind of paging issue.

Both these concerns seem critical to me. Kurzweil is meant for use by a population which includes many students. Brf files which bookshare processes certainly need to retain print pages.

Hi Kenneth,

If you are downloading books from Bookshare and reading the daisy files with Kurzweil 1000, you won't see page numbers. I had the same complaint that you are making, and had to be told that K1000 doesn't, for some reason that no one has managed to explain to me, retain the page numbers in Bookshare's daisy files. So, your books may after all, still retain their proper page numbering. You may just not be able to see them. No guarantees that your page numbers are still there, just an explanation of why you might not see them in the Bookshare book.

Peace,
Mayrie

For all this talk, can someone give the name of one book in the current collection of over five hundred pages which has all of the page numbers, in the right places, so that one can use that page number to footnote scholarly research. I would like to see at least one, because almost all of the books I put on the system are mangled so that I can't later use them for my work or research.
