Why bother with the brf files at all? If you want access to the page numbers, 
why not open the html version of the book? You can do that for free.

  Well, what about using another Braille translation program.  Do I really have 
to spend a few thousand dollars just to get the page numbers?

    Given Pratik's recent message, if you're downloading them into K1000, there 
may not be a way of doing this reliably. But if you were to put them onto 
another device such as the BrailleNote or BrailleLite or Pac Mate, then the 
print pages are indicated by a line of dashes with the page number at the end.

      When I download a recent book from BookShare in the BRF format, can I be 
sure of being able to determine the print page number of the material I happen 
to be reading?  If I can, how?
