One thing I'd like to have clarified, because I usually don't validate,
is it one of the steps in the validation process to delete headers and
footers or is it something people do by choice? Seems to me it's a part
of the book. Also, why take the time to delete them if the stripper's
going to do it? Also, if I understood things correctly, a copy of the
validated book is kept before it is subjected to a stripping, so why are
we removing things from the books?
Just trying to sort out this whole issue and appreciate the help!
Maybe you could say I'm stripping away the confusion at least that I
have about this whole issue.
Thanks!
Charlene

Sighted readers, too, Mike and Charlene. Except for dictionaries and
encyclopedias, I never realized they had a function, as I never
utilized them. For nonfiction, I always used the index, and for both
nonfiction and fiction, I used the table of contents if I wanted to get
to a particular chapter or section.
Then I suppose when I'm validating now, at least until bookshare decides
what to do, I should leave the headers but make sure they're not garbled
and put the page number on a separate line in case the header gets
stripped. But I suppose you're talking about chapter headers. Do author
or book title headers serve any purpose, or should I continue to delete
them?

Perhaps if blind readers were better educated as to
how books were
constructed and why particular info were included,
they might be less
opposed to them.
