I think all the ones I've done have been lower case because that's the way they 
were in the print book. I haven't checked the bookshare books, of course, to 
see if they remained, but my impression is that the stripper strips identical 
things like headers, and since page numbers, whether arabic or roman, would be 
different on each page they shouldn't be stripped--theoretically. smile Maybe 
someone could download As Nature Made Him and check the first few pages--after 
front and back flap info--and let us know. smile
