I do as samhy suggests, though I'd agree that it would be nice just to have a progress bar or a percentage indicator.

There use to be a hack (in Kobo tweaks) in the developer's forum which did put a progress bar at the bottom, but it no longer works with the firmware versions after March. I have no programming skills whatsoever, but would be very grateful if this could be resurrected.

Having said that, the fact that so many people are annoyed and nobody has put the progress bar back makes me think this is actually no longer possible...
