-- no chapter indication
-- no progress bar
-- cryptic locations

I think if I was just reading novels it would not be an issue but in books where you are constantly cross referencing stuff just location and a percent is really not cutting it for me.

That's a good point. I definitely wouldn't mind chapter indications.
