Sometimes they have Kindle editions, in which case you can enter the percentage instead of a page number--it's nice that they thought of that for Kindle users. But I have a Sony, and the Sony page numbers never match any of the available editions on Goodreads. This means I have to do a quick calculation before I update: "I'm on page 130 of 417 on the Sony, which is 31%. The Goodreads edition I chose has 608 pages, so I should type in '190.'" I don't mind doing the calculation--it extends the enjoyment of updating my status by a few more seconds.

I'm fairly active at Goodreads, but have only entered those stats a couple of times - recently as a couple of friends weren't sure about the book, so I'd write "Page 30 - ok so far", ""Page 100 - no violence yet", etc.
I'd forgotten that the Sony page numbers are "unique", so yeah the % would be most accurate. We've had that discussion at the GR Audiobooks forum, too.

The ToC doesn't always have page numbers though
