I'm curious where you developed the habit of wanting to know how much reading you have left to finish a chapter? I guess some other ereader device? (since paper books don't give you that information in a convenient way either)

People often mention wanting to know this but I have never understood why. When I run out of time, I just stop reading wherever I am in the book and take up from there later. It's not like you even need to insert a bookmark or anything with an ereader, it will keep track of that for you.

Is it really that much more satisfying to hit the end of the chapter before stopping?
