Yes. and they aren't an annoyance when being read in braille. but they are
an annoyance when reading with the speech turned on.  Especially if you are
reading a nonfiction book that might have a lot of numbers in it as I was
this weekend.  I got lost several times in whether or not this was a print
page, a braille page or a number of something in the book.  and when I read
hard copy braille, I don't look at the page number when I read.  it's just a
personal thing, I guess. It has always bothered me to have to hear page
numbers read, when I'm trying to read for pleasure and lose myself in a
story.  It breaks up my concentration.

I can't understand why page numbers are such an annoyance.  Every book, 
whether it's braille or print, has page numbers in it.

When I read LOTR using speech, I first edited the print page numbers so they

would sound right.  But I would never take page numbers out of a book.

The reason why I don't put page numbers in my Bibles is because I often redo

the files when I find an error.
