More than half the books I read have footnotes in the back. So none of these systems really work. Right now I am on page 213 out of 562 of The First Tycoon, a biography of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Maybe I am less half done. Or maybe I am two-thirds of the way through. With a paper book, I could easily check where the stuff I am going to read ends. Now it would be too much trouble to find out.
No big deal. But it is a bigger deal for me than page numbers vs. percentages.
Page numbers are tied to an individual printing or font size, and location number aren't intuitive. So if it was up to me, I'd vote for percentages, perhaps with a decimal point.
