The #kobobookmark column handles restoration of the exact position if needed and since the Kobo percentage is more often than not different than the ebook-viewer percentage it's not very helpful for trying to figure out my spot in a book.

I really only glance at the percentage, but I do have a search that checks if it is 100% and reminds me to set the other column.
The real point, though, is that if I reread a book, I can save the position in it, which resets percentage, but the book is still marked as finished in the other column.
And very rarely, something goes wrong and the #kobobookmark column doesn't work and I have to find approximately where I was in the book by the percentage. For instance, when kobo changed the format of their bookmark column, and then something went wrong and I ended up factory resetting the device anyway, I ended up losing all my bookmarks, but I still have the percentage column, and I've used that to find my old position in a couple of books I had abandoned but intended to get back to...
