Being an old fart, I read print books for decades before eReaders appeared. No print book I ever saw had "xx% Read" or "yy% Remaining" on the printed pages. Might be some out there that do, but I never saw one. Most printed books just simply have a page number or section number plus page number. A very few have "Page xx of yy". Print books nearly always required a visual examination of the physical book to see how many pages stacked up on the read side and how many stacked up on the remaining to be read side. That is why I think the dots across the screen on the K3 were the best at mimicking that visual cue. Unless someone is a moron, it was pretty easy to get a quick, visual ballpark estimate on how much of the eBook had been read and how much remained to be read. Putting a percentage is NOT visual, it is textual. It works well for some and that is good. But do we really fully comprehend the difference between being 72% finished and 73% finished? I think not. Obviously we understand the mathematical difference, but most of us are not really going to care what that difference in location fully means. We just want a ballpark estimate of where we are in the eBook. If a percentage floats your boat then great. Personally I would prefer the simple line of dots for a quick visual.
