I still hate the lack of information in the Cybook (it does not show the total length of the book). I think the K2 method looks optimal for MobiPocket books. You get the total length so you can calibrate your estimate of how long a book takes to read, you get percentage you have read so you can pace your reading if you need to finish before a specific day and you get a font independent reference if you need it. And you have a numerical value for the percentage so if you as me like to say that you should read 50 pages before doing something else you can do that now but use for example read 5% instead.

If I was not waiting for the txtr reader I would have been tempted to try to but a K2.
