30 second is OK if it's a background task and does not interfere with reading, page turning, but what size book is that. What happens with an omnibus edition with thousands of pages?
like i mentioned all my kepub books on my Kobo work 100% when using pages/screens left in chapter and that includes some hefty delphi classics complete works 100MB size kepub one is 150MB it still works perfectly.

Amazon i'm pretty sure could quite easily add pages/screens left in chapter if they wanted to, only they know why they haven't/don't want to do so. personally i prefer it because if i can see how many pages/screen turns are left until the next chapter it feels/seems more like i'm reading a paper/real book.

best wishes koboy
