Change page #s to Percentage?
Is it possible to change the display from page numbers to a percentage of how far one is in a book. I've searched the forums and tried searching the user manual, but didn't find what I was looking for. (Maybe I was searching the wrong thing).

There's a scrollbar that shows your position in the book as a fraction. But no there's no way to change the numbers to a percentage. Percentages do not give you an idea of the size of the book.

I'm not worried about the size, when I'm trying to update Goodreads it's either page number (which is incorrect in Calibre) or percentages. Goodreads doesn't take fractions.

Put the fraction into a calculator and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

And do that every time? :/ No thanks.

Maybe someone will make a plugin.

After two or three books you should be able to do it your head at a glance. Good mental exercise
