JayLaFunk, at first I thought seeing "Pages left in chapter" instead of "Pages left in book" was inconvenient...

... but pretty soon, I got so used, even addicted to the "Pages left in chapter" indication, that I certainly hope this feature will be (optionally) available later in Marvin for iPhone, too.

You know what, JayLaFunk? I've discovered that to see the number of pages remaining in a chapter, rather than in the entire book, actually motivates me more, to get on with the reading.

If you happen to be reading Moby-Dick, and see something like 798 pages left in book, at the bottom of every screen... well, that sounds a bit daunting, doesn't it? If, however, the same book shows you 25 pages left in chapter, or 17 pages left in chapter... well, anyone can master that, right? Just take it "one step at a time", chapter by chapter... and before you know it, you've devoured the entire gargantuan Moby-Dick (instead of the reverse process, as happened to poor Captain Ahab).
