Allegations to the contrary nothwithstanding, I was not being maliciously or deliberately obtuse. I know nothing at all about how ebooks are structured as files.

What I DO know is that the stats presented said "44% READ" (e.a.) when that was patently not true. As an indicator of the percentage of the book actually READ (the information it was allegedly presenting), the figure was meaningless to the point of absurdity. THAT is simple fact, regardless of the mechanics of file size, internal structure etc.

I've just checked a de-drmd epub in KOReader and its stats match those of the kepubs internal progress bar and the ADE epub - wrong, but not AS wrong as the "% read" figure shown on the 'cover' when sleeping or in the statistics under "Activity". The end matter is 15% of the entire book, not 50%.
