yes, I'd forgotten that, but if you go to dropbox and open the sync file for that book in a text editor, you can see an nn.n number which will be the percentage. There are actually 2 files per book , the other one looks gibberish in notepad but I think it holds annotations and highlights

it does also use a chapter / file pointer, that is evident if you edit a book in a way that changes the underlying number of html files before sending it to the other device.
not sure exactly how it works, it may be a simple count that works with the TOC e.g. open with the file linked to the nth toc entry.
