I know why there are three different numbers but I also see why there is confusion.

Spoiler:

Using 6% as the base:
3/297 = 1.01% - This method is using a page map and typical page numbering doesn't include front (or back) matter in the page count. So things like the cover, title page, table of contents, a prologue sometimes, etc. don't count but they are counted in the 6%.
7% - I think the 6% displayed is the same value as this but rounded down instead of rounded up like we would normally do with something this close. By rounding everything down the only time a book shows "100%" is when there is nothing more to see. Otherwise you could be at 100% and still have several screens worth of information to go in the book. This method will show 99% until there are no more screens at all.

Yes 5% was front matter.
I meant the confusion was on how people can't tell where they are in a book.
Hold on while I check how many button pushes is a page.
Font size 4, line spacing small, words per line default, it takes 2 pushes to be a page. So we now know approximately 600 pushes(page turns) for the book.

This tells me that page numbers in an eink can be way off the number of page turns. So pretty much useless.
