Calibre-4.4.0, A Shame

Hi everybody,
It's really a shame now we no more see page number but idiot percentage.
Why not give options to choose between them?

Sure ebook is not a book and page mean "nothing". But I prefer to see page, even if it's not the real one that idiot percentage.

Thanks !

@CarltonDoorman you can change the header/footer in preferences to change from % to location. Please ask politely instead of being rude.

@cvkemp, you can change the header/footer to show the time remaining for the chapter and the book in preferences.

JSWolf I agree with you I was rude. So sorry.
You give me a good tip. I don't choose the "Time" but
the "Position in the Book" for Left Header.
Like that ALL IS PERFECT !

Thanks a lot and sorry again for my bad mood !

Have a nice day !!!

"idiot"? You concede that a page number is objectively meaningless for an ebook yet twice describe a percentage (which is both relevant and meaningful) as "idiot"? I have yet to find any reference work which offers "does not conform to my personal taste" as a definition of the word "idiot".
