Firstly, the method for kepubs and epubs is different.

I mentioned that fact 2 different renderers offered very similar progress percentages was evidence (imo, ofc) that they were more reliable than the "% figure shown on the sleeping display (and in the book stats under "Activity")


I have been further intrigued to discover an unexpected trend - the gap is getting BIGGER the further I go into the book. I had thought that as I progressed through the book, the 2 divergent stats would move toward each other, but so far, the opposite is true.

When I took those screenshots, the progress bar said 14 % and the "book %" said 10%. Then, in one of my replies above, it was 21% (22% in the ADE epub) versus 16%. Now the progress bar says 27.5% while the "book %" says 21%. If this trend continues, I'll be halfway through my 2nd read before reaching 100% on the sleep cover
