Mark current page by holding in left hand. Use right hand to flick to next chapter. Or hold in right hand and use left to go back to TOC and note page nos.

Much faster than doing the equivalent in Kindle.

I just prefer to stop reading at a chapter break, though not always possible with long chapters.

But actually, some Android ebook apps do have progress lines much more informative. E.g., a line with your current place and marks for each chapter break.

Yes. That's why chapters exist at all.

Obviously, when I have to, I do that.
Stopping at a chapter end is a preference, not a compulsion.
