I think it depends. Sometimes, I don't think it's a matter of preference but rather how it actually appears in the book. If they appear as ellipses in the book, that's how they should appear on Bookshare, if possible, while if they appear as M-dashes in the book, that's how they should appear in our files. Take care.

I don't mind the ellipsis my self. My screen reader doesn't say it while reading only while arrowing through the text or reading word by word. Do people prefer ellipsis or M-Dashes?
