You can parse the html code and get a more accurate progress bar. Now they count header text for example which lead to the inaccurate progress bar for short html files with large headers.

I think what most people want to have is some number. It do not have to be page number. Now it is really very hard to do things like reading 1/10 of the book. And some people like to be able to do these kind of things.
