Quite interesting. The main thing I like about it is a general idea of how far through the book you are. My wife's Nook 1st gen shows a progress bar at the bottom and the Sony will show something like "Page 115 of 512".

My old Sony PRS-600 had that and you couldn't disable it. It would sometimes overlay the text of the book if the margins were too tight. They removed it on the PRS-T1 and I don't think you can enable it. As David mentioned, the desktop version of ADE offers this as well. I actually prefer it off.
