So... not just academic citations and misc. references I guess. At least according to JSWolf.
Percentages are useless. 50% of a book with 100,000 words is different than 50% of a book with 60,000 words. Doesn't tell you how much is left is a way that you'd know. The ADE page numbers do this once you get used to them. I know they are not there to simulate pBook page numbers. They are there to let you know how far in you are and how much left you have.
