Thanks, Sandie. I believe I see that I can write my own notes, but that's not the kind of notes I'm talking about. I'm talking about author provided notes that may be explanatory, or may simply be detailed citations to sources. In print these are usually indicated by a superscript number at the end of the sentence to which the note applies. Hearing these read out as though they are part of the primary narrative text content can become highly disruptive when there are lots of them, especially lots of the citation kind. Some texts become virtually unreadable.
In the days of audio cassette books there weren't other options. To still have no good options, despite our DAISY standards defining useful behavior requirements 25 years ago is really outrageous, imo.
