IMO, YMMV.

That would certainly be true if the percentage were given in isolation, but it's not. Eg, looking at my current book, I see "Page 466, 62%", so I know how many pages I've read, and that I'm a little over half way through the book. That for me is more useful than knowing that the book has 750 pages (or whatever the exact number might be).
Ideally Amazon would give us the choice, so we'd all be happy
