Actually, that is why I am giving up on it. I am not really interested
in poetry and do not have an ear for it. It would be especially
dificult to hear where the line breaks should be because I am using a
synthetic voice that also has no interest in poetry and it would
require reading the whole book over again. Inserting the page breaks
would be tedious, but would only require jumping from one page to
another and if that were the only fix needed I would jump right in.
However, for anyone who does not have the objections I have it should
be quick and easy. I have already pretty thoroughly checked and
corrected scanning errors. Even if someone else gets the credit I
would feel a certain amount of gratification to see it in the
collection and know that my efforts helped put it there.
