Right. But as I turn page after page, and the percentage stays the same, then the display is failing to inform me of how much progress I am making. So in that case, I have to turn the page ten (or more) times to see how many taps equals to a percentage. On Kobo devices, this does not happen - when I turn a page, I get instant feedback on how much progress I have made in the book, without having to turn the page ten times to see how many page turns goes into a percentage point.
