I don't mean to be ludicrous. % is fine, as long as it is used with something else. And I would rather not have % be the default, and than have to go thru multiple taps to get what I want. Maybe I missed some context, but this is what I replied to initially:

Use %. Page numbers are meaningless on ebooks. I know some people are attached. Even on paper books I glance at edge of book to see how far I've got, not page number. I only use the page number as a random access index mechanism for paper as tapping an index or reference doesn't work

Page numbers are not meaningless in ebooks, to me.
In Kobo's, I used to be able to get what I wanted with one tap (chapter info). Than it went to two. Now it is 3 taps.
I don't consider your request to swap the header and footer ludicrous (sorry if I confused you with someone else), why would someone else's preference be ludicrous?
Calling a preference ludicrous in a patching thread, seems, ... ludicrous.
