I have an example for a situation: When I start reading a new book I check to see how many pages I read from home to work so I would get a feeling how many workdays it would take me to finish the book. And after that I would normally always look at the page number when closing the book. Primarily because I had to do it with paper books so I would know where to continue reading next time. But also a little to check my progress, sometimes I find parts hard or boring to read and I am surprised that I still managed to read more pages than average although it felt like a lot less. Sometimes I read parts where I think about something mentioned there and my thoughts start to wander and when arrive I notice that I have read only a couple of pages (the "daydreaming" was obviously longer than I thought).
Of course it's only some weird personal habit and by no means "necessary" for me to read books. But it was something I liked about paper books and which I - maybe a bit irrationally - miss...
