Hi,

this is my first post in this forum, welcome everyone!
I've recently purchased my first e-reader, the Kobo Glo HD. I've set it up so that the whole screen is filled with text, no space is wasted (margins set low, disabled header/footer). I've also disabled showing page numbers, because they seem to be messed up, when disabling header/footer (page numbers show up somewhere on the side of the page, sometimes overlapping with text). But I don't really care for the actual page number, so that's fine.
What I do miss is, that the progress within the current chapter is not shown. I'd like it to show the remaining pages or the current progress (in %) of the current chapter. Is there an option to somehow show this, even with disabled footer?

I see 3 options/alternatives here:
1. Showing progress with disabled header/footer.
2. Showing progress with enabled header/footer, but with tweaked header/footer, so that they aren't that huge, if that's possible.
3. Show the progress in the status bar, which appears if I tap the center of the screen (currently only shows the progress within the whole book).

Any ideas?
