I only use the progress bar when I'm reading as well. In the PocketBook I don't have any footer or header at all. But if I'm leaving the house I like to pick up a "road warrior" eReader and it's nice to say, "I'm at page 212" and then, when I pick up the other eReader I can go immediately to that page and continue reading. (Works with the Nook, EzReader, Tolino, PocketBook and Sonys.) That's another thing that bothers me a bit about Kobos, no way to go to a specific page number (even when using ePubs). Can you imagine how much fun it is to go to page 81 of a 2,300 page book using the slider? I kept hopping over it by about 100 pages. In this particular book the Table of Contents works by sections not chapters -- so the next section after page 43 is 281.
