I agree that one of the things that could/should be done better in the evolved e-book is to tell the reader where he is and how much farther he has to go. A good example of that is the progress line which K4 has. Unfortunately, my KT does not have that. Such a progress line with chapter markings is a great improvement that could never be done in the printed book.

However, I don't feel it obviates the need for screen numbers; particularly if you could see how many screens until next chapter or end of book. The progress line is good but not precise. For that you need screen #'s.

It is obvious that we are not going to convince each other so, as I have said in the past, provide a few simple options that lets readers choose how to present this information on their e-reader.
