No, Pam, I don't see a way of dereplacing single quotes with double quotes.
Besides, I suspect that we really shouldn't mess with the print. In
proofreading Braille, we can make sure the characters are there, but we run
the risk of losing permission if we change punctuation on a broad scale.
Not sure if it works that way with BookShare, but I would hesitate to change
punctuation, no matter how goofy it sounds to us.
