Percentage is next to useless for me. I am currently reading a 2500+ "page" book. 1% of 2500 pages is far different than 1% of a 150-"page" book. I am not looking for absolute accuracy to some rigidly defined standard--I just want to compare different books' lengths and also have some idea of how much I read each day. Page numbers (even "faux" page numbers) are the easiest, most intuitive way I've found to do this.

You’ll read at a fairly consistent rate with only slight variations due to subject matter and outside distractions. Why not use time spent reading as a measure of how much reading you’ve done. It won’t vary with any reasonable change in font size etc, nor in screen size.
