Page numbers

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to change the way page numbers are being displayed.
I really like the way iBooks does it on the iPhone. It shows xx of xxx pages in the middle and on the right side it displays the number of pages left in the chapter.

Is such a thing possible on the Kobo devices?

No, not from the standard settings anyway. And I haven't seen a tweak for it.

But for kepubs (books bought from Kobo or sideloaded as kepubs with Calibre Kobo Utilities plugin) you can choose to either see pages/progress per book or pages/progress per chapter on page two of the reading settings (toggle through pages/progress view by tapping the footer while reading); and you can see chapter progress in time in the statistics (bring up the menu while reading, and tap the chart in the bottom bar).

Not that I'm aware of.

On the Glowlight 3, there's a footer showing 'Page 127 of 343', touching the middle of the screen brings up a slider bar that tells you how many pages are left in the current chapter.

I wish there were a similar feature on Kobo.

If it helps, touching the middle of the Kobo screen should bring up a percentage read in the top bar.
