2.Why do you need a progress meter for the book? Unless I am forcing myself through a book I never look to see how much is left.

Remember what NAEB is currently evaluating is prototype software. If we can present a good argument for adding a feature, there is a good change of getting it in.
1. I feel safe this way. I don't want to worry and go to a specific menu to check on my batter status when we speak about ebook reader. I tend to forget about things. I know for sure that if I don't have the battery status bar I will end up one day with a flat batter when I am outdoor. So, without the status bar I would have 1 more issue to worry about . Now I have 1 less

2. Honestly. I don't know how to answer to the question.
I am at loss here

Probably because when I started to read books at age...dunno 5? I always knew how many pages in total are in a particulat book and I like it? I like to know my whereabouts in a book. Whether it is 1/3 into a book or I am past 1/2, or there are only 10 pages left? I just cannot imagine to read a book differently.

Both of the features help to maintain the same feeling as I have when I read pbook. That's what I need from ebook reader.
