I guess with a paper book it's easy to see if you're half way through etc but my Kindle also tells me when I'm 50% through (or 25%, 75% ...). I don't see any difference. What other method would you propose?
But you also need the total length like you have in a paper book.

As I have said repeatedly. Total length plus current position (might be given in percentage but a position is better).
