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.

You're right - the percentages (other than the one on the front when sleeping) are calculated from the progress markers. The book has (so far) no images at all, no unusual vertical spacing. Every page looks very much like the sample in the attached screenshot.
I have just discovered that the ADE version has a clickable "page list" listing all 726 pages of the print edition. I'm currently at the start of chapter 31/55 which in the print edition is page 347/726 - 47.8% of the way through the book. Which makes a nonsense of ALL the other stats, I guess.
