In a print book you can simply flip to the end and see how many pages you have, or gauge by the thickness of the book and where you are.

On the K1 the dots span the bottom of the screen when a book is open regardless of how long the book is and it doesn't list total number of locations so you can't tell easily. You could jump to the end of the book or last chapter or something I suppose. But that's annoying and the K1 is so slow to jump to places in a book and back to bookmarks etc.

Again, it's just a minor annoyance. For instance, I no I'm roughly 75% through Crime and Punishment but have no idea how many "pages" I have left as I haven't bothered to jump to the end to see how many locations there are.

Sounds like the K2 has fixed the issue reasonably, by listing % read and total locations though.
