Before the UI updates, I would have the header and footer hidden and then tap to bring up the menu every now and then when I wanted to see how far along I was in the chapter. I like to know how long a chapter is before I begin because I don't like to start a chapter if I know I won't have time to finish it, or if I'm nearing the end of my lunch break I can finish quickly if I see I only have a few pages left.

Now that chapter progress section has been replaced by a book page count instead, and to get chapter pages I have to go to Reading Stats which takes two extra taps, or show the chapter heading which takes up real estate and distracts me.

Why, Kobo, why?
There is a bug in the 4.18 firmware with the KePub stats. The stats are updated and correct when you first load a book but after that, the stats do not update until you reload the eBook.
