I actually like the page number in Web Braille, it lets me know how far along in the book I am or how near the end of a volume I am getting.
I am not overly fond of the addition of print pages most of the time but have learned to live with that too, I just tune them out after a while, or get a chuckle out of them depending on what they say and where. Being able to down load books, not having those large cartons to pick up and mail, being able to pick the books I want when I want them instead of when the library wants all cancel out any minor inconveniences the web braille formatting or Bookshare have. Having the files in electronic format, being able to carry around some 100 books at a time so I can switch depending on my needs is wonderful.

I want to read, but I know that when I want to re-read it, I don't want all the page numbers, so I just edit as I go. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherry Gomes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 12:16 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] book reader and page numbers i have to do a lot of editing anyway, either in my own writing or in my work, so the idea of sitting down and spending hours deleting page numbers on the braille note is not enticing. i thought of opening them on the PC in Duxbury and reformatting it without page numbers, but even that is way more than I want to do. Just to read a little web braille. LOL. I can't imagine how it could be done easily on a BN BT, because if you do a find for the numbers, it would also bring up every instance of a number or the number sign is also the BLE sign in braille. Just not worth the effort for me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isaac Obie Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 10:07 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] book reader and page numbers Sherry, terri Paynett has an excellent program for this very purpose I do believe. I think it's called "poweredit". If she is on here in the not too distant future, you can ask her about it again. I hate editing as well. isaac On Sat, 28 May 2005, Sherry Gomes wrote: > I don't have the patience to edit them out! I'm not that kind of detailed > oriented. Lol. oh well.
