Hi:
I have to comment on this topic.
Jill's experience is precisely why bookshare guidelines need to clearly state
that page breaks means that there is a break for every page. Otherwise some
people can interpret it, as long as there are some page breaks the book is
acceptable. This book is a good example. There was 1 page break and so the book
meets guidelines.

Hi Jill,
This book was a recent submission based on the ID number. I opened the
DAISY book in Kurzweil and it gave me the story as a single page. Yes, that
tells me that this book didn't have page breaks or they were lossed in the
validation process. The book has two pages, so I guess it might have had a
single page break in it. This is most likely why a red flag wasn't raised
during the administrative approval process.
And yes, page breaks are an important part to helping the stripper know how
to work.

I am reading "dinner at the homesick restaurant" by Anne Tyler. The
stripper has not removed the headings; there are page numbers but not where the
headings are. Is this because the page breaks were not where they should have
been? Is this why the headings could not be removed by the stripper? If this is
true, then shouldn't Bookshare instruct validators in the necessity of being
sure that page breaks are correct? Some of the page numbers were scanned
incorrectly so ended up as a combination of numbers and letters; if the
validator is supposed to verify if the book is complete, it seems to me that
he/she needs to check that all pages are present and correct.
