I rely on the percent indicator and pretty much ignore the locations while reading. They are occasionally useful, though, to jump to a point distant from the current page.
As I recently said
in this post, I wish there were a way to page up and down multiple pages at a time, and to navigate to a "percent read" location:

1) Alt plus the page-turn keys (or some other key combination) to move backward or forward n pages at a time. Ideally, n would be customizable, but even if it were a fixed value, say 10 pages, that would be something.
2) The ability to go to a "percent read" location rather than a numerical location. I'm more likely to remember that I encountered something 25% of the way into a book than at some 4- or 5-digit location.
Has anyone else asked for features like these? Are they doable?
