Harrys discription was correct, some people want them/need them. You are one of them. Other people couldn't care less and say it is a thing of the past. Harry is one of them I'm another one. So what is wrong with Harry's discription when he writes:

Page numbers are a "love it or hate it", thing.
You love/need them, I not really hate them, but I have no use for unrelyable information that changes when I change font family, font size and even is different when you go forwards or backwards. It gives me no sense of were I am because page 123 has no meaning at all. It can be in the first 10% of a book or in the last 10% depending on the fontsize. The progress bar is much better in showing me were I am

And even if the information was correct...I simply don't need it. I have much more use for arrangeing books on the meta information contained in the mobi format
