Would like to see total number of pages in a book easier

I wish the total number of pages of a resource was more easily accessible.

Presently, the only way I know how to find this information is to turn on page numbers as a visual filter and scroll to the end of a book.

It would be helpful to at least include this information in the Information pane for a resource.

It would be even better if it could be displayed in a way that gave the reader a sense of place and progress as they are reading a book.

Still cumbersome, but you can hit END on the keyboard, look in the reference box, then hit the back arrow.

Looking at how far down the scroll bar the scroll thumb is gives you a sense of how far through the book you are. You've got to hover the mouse over the scroll bar area for it to be more visible, though, as Logos dims the scroll bar to keep it from being a distraction while you're reading.

The problem with the scroll bar is it doesn't reflect the relative size of the resource.

The scroll bar for 469 page resource is not distinguishable from the scroll bar for a 120 page resource.

I would like to have a feel for how much more reading is required to finish a resource as I am reading.

It would be nice to have some kind of progress indicator that showed your place in relation to the total size of the resource.

I agree Russ with your suggestion and I think it should be in the info about the resource (similar to what we see at the product info on the Logos web page. It gives a better feeling of the resources we do not know in the paper book form. And, should I tell you we will have more and more of those?

I don't think this has been addressed but it keeps popping up in various contexts.
