Right, but I don't want that huge thing there. Just the page I'm at and total pages (like iBook) or percentage of the book I'm in (like Stanza). Something I can leave up all the time but isn't intrusive.
As I said, the current "leave up" display isn't useful at all (who knows how many pages are in a chapter, or how many chapters?). Even if it just said something like total pages in a chapter (like Page 10 of 20 in Chapter 11) it would be a *little* useful, but as it stands it's not worth having.
The trend is to tell the reader, at all times, how much material they have left to read (and it doesn't need to go as far as the Kindles, which now give an estimated reading time to completion, although that's fairly cool).
Overall I think Shubook is decent -- a three star reader. But no match for Stanza (except that it works with the current IOS. Sigh).
