True, but I was also making it clear what I was talking about.

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

Nowhere in you screenshots do I see 14%. I can see the sleep screen says 10% and the page progress says "Page 224 of 1593". That does work out to about 14%. Are you saying that you had "Percent of book read" at the bottom of the screen displayed and it was 14% at this point? In the other posts are you calculating the percentage from the page numbers or this is what the device shows?
My point was that the percent read for kepubs is
not based on the pages. Or screens or whatever you want to call it. It is based on something else. For a book with simple coding, it is probably fairly close. If one chapter had a lot more complex code in it, then it will be different. If there are images, or lots of vertical spacing, then it will also affect things. Or something stupid like a chapter with 1000 words but each in separate paragraph will be different than 1000 words in a single paragraph.
