% is not equal to page numbers - for instance, page 41 and page 42 could be the same %, but they are not the same progress in terms of pages. Of course, this is a personal preference as I'm sure others like the % more.

I can't remember if it was Paul Reiser or Tim Allen that started their book with page 145.
I prefer percents because I know how far I am in the book.
Page 10 might be 1% or 10%. Page 445 might be near the end of 45%.
So without knowing an actual page count, percents are better than numbers.
