You'll have to tap the screen to get an indication of percentage or 'page number'.

The page number displayed on the KPW1 helped somewhat, but the paper book is still better in this regard.
I understand your point, but...

At least with an ebook, you have some control over "wasted space". And for me to get "sense of progression" it is just a single tap, and I can get either chapter (don't need to flip through the book to find the next chapter) of full book progression (in either pages, percent, or time).
