Louis: you might already have heard or found this out, but if you hold the 0 key in the Daisy area, you get all the information about the book, such as elapsed time, remaining time, and total time. Though it would b ehandy to hear remaining time when pressing 0, or as it is now, I don't think this needs to be changed since you can always hold the 0 key for 2-3 seconds and be in a dialog where you can arrow up/down and get that same information. I do think that being told which heading you're at when pressing number 8 when listening to Daisy content, verses just the heading number or in addition to the heading number, would help people keep track of what section they're in.
