Since you don't read on eink devices, you might not be aware of the progress bar at the bottom of the page on pre-touchscreen kindles. I really really miss that. (I certainly would have not minded if it could have been toggled off for those that did not want it.)
It not only showed progress in the book, there were tick marks for each chapter. You could not only tell where you were in the book but also where you were in the current chapter. It was also usually easy to tell whether there were appendices, indices, etc at the end. I also really miss being able to flick back and forth between chapters with the joystick or d-ring. I've gotten used to much of touch screen functionality, but for some things I still strongly prefer buttons.
