B&N has a pretty slick way of handling this - they have a very subtle progress bar on the bottom (it takes up almost no space on the iPhone). And there are tiny notches in the progress bar that show chapters. So you have a visual sense both of where you are in the book, and where you are in the chapter.

I believe it's one of the few enhancements B&N added to the eReader software after they bought it from Fictionwise.
