Jeremiah,
Are you sure it's a BP issue and not a bookshare issue? Occasionally, while
reading books from Bookshare, I get repeated pages when whoever scanned the
book might have lost their place and scanned a page twice. I've also seen
some scanning programs move text around and repeat paragraphs. Of course,
if it also happens with Web Braille files that would have to be a BP
problem. Lou
