Hi Scott, I'd have to understand why the book's numbering isn't in accord with yours before giving good advice. The way that it should work is that once page 1 has been accurately located, numbering should follow sequentially after that. If it doesn't, the reason why needs to be determined in order to understand why and to be accurate. Here are some reasons why a book's page numbers might be off from what you think they ought to be. Sometimes, pages containing illustrations are not numbered in the hard copy of the book, but come between sequentially numbered pages. Since illustrations are not preserved in Bookshare's books, I'd delete pages containing only illustrations that are not numbered, but at the bottom of the page before the illustration or picture, make a proofreader's note of what the page contained, if there is a picture caption, for instance. If there is no text on the page, and you can't provide a picture description yourself or with assistance, then I'd just delete the un numbered page. Only do this if you are ABSOLUTELY sure that this is what is going on. Another cause for page numbering being inaccurate can be that the person who scanned the book might have had their OCR recognizing two pages as one page. In this instance, the number of pages would be HUGELY off, and you'd need to determine where the missing page breaks belong, insert them, and number the pages properly. There are other reasons that can cause page numbering to be off, these are just the two most common reasons. I know it all sounds complicated, but we're all here to help you out when you need it. Happy proofreading.
