Point. Edited above to specifically mention that.

RMDSK (ADE) used in Kobo Readers gives you ADe style page numbers and a percent read. So you can use whichever you want. Also, once you get used to ADE style page numbers, you do get a good sense of where you are and how much you have to go (unless the eBook contains fake bonus content (preview of another book)).
Yeah, but as far as I am concerned, it is pointless unless it actually refers to the print edition. I much prefer the Time Left To Read that Kindles have, because it cuts out the need to calculate it myself. Does Kobo do anything similar?
Percent doesn't really cut it for me... that requires you to keep track of how long it has taken you so far, even if you have taken breaks in the meantime...
