if you select "Entire book" you see "page of total pages". Is there a way to get back the old position indication?
The page counting method for KePubs when 'Entire book' progress is selected now uses a similar method of counting pages to the ePub method, it is not 'one page = one screen' like you got with the FullBookPageNumbers feature setting in earlier firmware versions. I think changing back to the old page counting method for KePubs would require a major change to the code, much more than could be done with a patch.

But if you are happy with the new 'Entire book' page counting method in KePubs and all you want is the current chapter name to be displayed when 'Entire book' progress is selected, then that might be possible, but probably not easy.

(As an aside, if you read ePubs then selecting 'Current chapter' progress actually displays the same page numbering as 'Entire book', but it causes the chapter name to appear before the page number in the navigation menu. Selecting 'Entire book' progress doesn't change the page counting method, it just removes the chapter name. So I suspect a patch to do what you want for ePubs would be easier than for KePubs.)

Here are screenshots showing what I mean about the navigation menu for ePubs: first is with 'Entire book' progress selected, the second with 'Current chapter'.
