I think calibre uses number of page turns at the current ebook-viewer settings.



yeah I suspected that about page numbers. From what I know of the epub format I really doubted there was any specific demarcation of pages. So yeah percentage would be perfect.

Is that what you were looking for?


Basically yes. Considering how useful that number is and how useless the other numbers are to me as a reader. I can't use them to turn to specific points or anything is there any way to change those number to percentage. Even if I wanted to scan for a section of the book I could better do it with the percentage vs the current numbers.
