Still, I know that it is something that some people feel strongly about so it is still on my feature requests list.
If you're interested in your position in the whole book (not the current chapter only), Marvin shows you that percentage progress as well.

ADE style page numbers is something a lot of us have grown used to using ADE based software either on the computer or on a Reader/phone/tablet. To me, ADE style page numbers mean more then a percentage. A percentage does not tell me how big the book is. 50% of a 175,000 page book is very different then 50% of a 98,000 page book. But ADE style page numbers shows more clear information. I know more of where I am in a book when I am at page 75 of 230 then I do at 34%. Also, another important reason for ADE style page number is if I am reading with Marvin and I want to switch to reading on my T1, it's a lot easier to find where I am when I am on page 75.
I feel strongly that ADE style page numbers is important enough to be put at the top of the list of features to add to Marvin.
