I am sighted and thus not eligible for Bookshare books, but I have done quite a few cookbooks and no one has said to do differently than that. I would be interested in the opinions of users on this too. Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading - A Killer Stitch by Maggie Sefton I'm an eBay affiliate, click here before you bid!
