Sorry to bump this old bird, but this was the most relevant thread on the matter that I could find. Maybe I should have made a new 'what should I buy' thread and linked to this thread instead, but this will be at least somewhat relevant, but not totally.

So, I'm looking to buy a new e-reader and hiding any progress information is one of my highest priorities. While others like to know where in the book that they're at and when the book will end, I like not knowing such spoiling information. I recommend that people should try reading a book while not knowing how long that it is or when it'll end - because it can make for a much more interesting read. This is a strength for the e-reader, well, it could have been.

Anyhow, right now I'm using my Kindle 3 and the 'kindle-progress-bar-remover' put together by 'muness' (others share credits), but after finding this thread I realised that it might be possible to also acquire a PW2 and achieve the same goal. However, I have to ask a few questions before making the purchase to be sure.

1) Will the script @ #3 work on a jailbroken PW2 with firmware 5.4.5? (I strongly assume it will work)

2) What is the quarks of the script @ #3? (the hack on my Kindle 3 removes the progress bar after each page refresh, so it's visible for a half a second (not an issue, I just don't look at it). There's also some ghosting left behind and therefore the progress bar is actually not 100% hidden if you look carefully (an actual shortcoming for me).

3) (somehow off topic question) Is there any other non-Kindle e-reader that has an native option (or at least through access to root) to hide the progress information?

If I crossed the line here then I'll be sure to delete this post and follow an alternative suggestion for how to go about posting it. Thank you.
