I read the omnibus on my bus. I don't really ride the bus that much, but I just thought that sounded funny.
Yes; that's indeed a bit of a problem. It's hard to see where exactly you are in a book when reading a Delphi Classic, if you're at page 7,231 of 16,251.

Most of the time, I extract parts from the Delphi Classics I want to read as a whole, such as the Professor Challenger works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They total 515 pages, so they can serve as one book

It's no problem stuffing a 20K page Delphi Classic on the Kindle, by the way; it's only easier to see progress in a single book and to register it as a single read if it's extracted first.

Makes perfect sense. I've stacked a large buch of short stories by one author into an 800 page anthology.
