(Some e-readers have progress bars, or page number-like progress, but in full screen mode, the KA1 shows nothing but a wall of text. In non-full screen mode where it can show progress, it wastes half the screen with whitespace and headers and footers...) |
My Kobo has a couple of options for this:
1. Turn on a single line at the bottom that says “Page 182 of 426”
2. Leave it in full-screen mode, but set the menu to the progress bar. The text is full-screen, but tapping the center of the screen pulls up the progress bar and tapping again dismisses it.
Some of the patches give you fine control over exactly how #1 is formatted and presented (e.g you can change it to just “182/426” if you want).
