Anyway, page numbers are much more efficient at the bottom. When you change the page, most of the time you look at the top of the screen. So if you want to see the number of screens left in the chapter or the time or the %, it's there at the top where your eyes are looking. At the bottom, you then have to shift your view back to the bottom and then back to the top to continue reading. |
Oh poor Often Wrong Jon, can’t even back up his claim that I’m wrong with any evidence. And is only able to cite an opinion to back up yet another goal post shift.
Wrong Jon Silver, the discussion wasn’t what you find most beneficial. It wasn’t even about what most people do or do not prefer. No, Wrong Jon Silver, it was about you saying page numbers have only ever been at the bottom of the page/screen.
You’ve been wrong from the get go. You’re probably so wrong you don’t know what right feels like anymore. You’re so sadly wrong that the Guinness World Record people want to talk to you about featuring you as the most wrong person. I can see it now “Wrong Jon Silver Wrongest Man Alive: this man insisted on something so much that even when he himself provided a statement with contrary information he went on insisting he was right”. Kids the world over will use you as a benchmark of being wrong. I would be surprised if there was ever again a person so wrong.
Anyway as the natural inclination is to return to the top of the page/screen upon finishing a page the top of the screen is a perfectly viable place for page numbers. Some will prefer it, others will prefer the bottom. But the fact remains this is a matter of opinion there is no one place page numbers must be, nor is there only place they have exclusively been going all the way back to when page numbers were first used (since Wrong Jon Silver likes using previous usages as precedent for how things should be). Even narrowing the company down to just Kobo shows a history of different places.
