In other words, if you're on page 50 of a 100 page book, you know you've only got 50 pages to go; but if you're on page 500 of a 1,000-page book, you've still got a lot of reading before you finish. In Bookmaster and Marvin, you have no way of telling this since both just tell you you're 50% through.
What about something like Time Left to Read?

Perhaps kguil doesn't want to lie about page numbers that don't really exist.
