It tells you how far you've got. All books OUGHT to have the approximate number of words excluding Front matter, TOC and End Matter at the start where the copyright/author / publish data is.
The % or progress bar works for me.
Printed books only have page number (not x of y) and the progress is obvious. I'd only use the page number on a printed book with an index, so for a novel it simply lets me know two leaves aren't stuck together or a leaf or two hasn't fallen out.
