I believe it's one of the few enhancements B&N added to the eReader software after they bought it from Fictionwise.
IIRC, eReader under Fictionwise had the same type of progress bar, so if B&N added anything it would be the notches.

Stanza also has the progress bar, though without notches, and will show you a percentage if you bring up the info (tap in the middle of the screen).
