Describe the solution you'd like

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I would like to see the progress of where I am in the chapter or book at the bottom of the screen similar to other ereaders. A simple (4/23) would suffice.

The percent progress is already shown. Epubs don't really have a page number. Are you talking about epub ebook?

I'm speaking about when you are in the ereader, not when you are looking at the book overview. When you are viewing an epub on a Kindle or in Calibre, you get a progress update in the bottom right of the screen that shows what "page" you are on vs. how many "pages" you have left in that section.

For me on kindle the bottom right is a percentage (same as Abs) and the bottom left is a location. I'm not sure how the location is useful since it changes based on the screen size.

I don't know what the calibre mobile app looks like but the calibre desktop ereader shows a percentage in the bottom right the same as Abs.

Can you share screenshots of the page number you are seeing?

It's just a nice visual as to where you are in relation to the end of the chapter.

No. There are 78 "pages" in the 1st chapter based on the current view settings.

Added a location in the bottom left of the book. I think this is the best we're going to get with this library.
