His point is (and actually why I haven't upgraded mine either) that you don't see anything but a percent unless you hit the "Menu" button.

Whereas before, the Location number would always be at the bottom of the screen. Not only would you see the Location where you are at, but the last Location in the book.

Like for instance, my current book, I am at Location 930-936 out of 2048. Not only do I know that I am about halfway, I know that I am about 200 page-clicks from the end.

Now you just get shown the % on the bottom of the page. Which isn't too useful on its own. Yes, you can hit menu to see it, but that's intrusive...
