I often need to know how long time it will take to finish a book. With a paper book that is easy to estimate.
But my point was really that percentage does not give you the same amount of information that you have in a paper book were you not the total amount of pages and what page you are on. And I would be very unhappy if ebook reader designer thought that percentage was enough or equivalent to what you have in a paper book.
