Reading on en eBook-reader it is very hard to get the feeling that you have made any progress in the book.

Good point.
For the txtr reader it's just a question of a proper default. Maybe we switch that to keep this information on screen for documents with more then let's say 100 pages or so and store this setting in the metafile for the document, so you can change it case by case. But I still think, that a page information is worthless if you don't know the total page count, so I guess it's more important to know a) how "big" the book is and b) where in that book you are and especially if you are coming to the end.
And remeber, there is more out there then just books and the device is not only a book reader, so we allways have to take care not to neglect all the other document types.
