Sorry, I don’t know. My analysis is mostly looking for new text strings that show up in the latest firmware and there are several new strings in the latest release that relate to page numbering.

Some folks want to see page numbers the reflect the current pagination of the ebook. Perhaps that is going to be a new option.

I don't think it would be better. That way page numbers would depend on font size setting. As it's now, they're fairly universal across all reflowable books on the device.

Kindle only has 'nn mins left in chapter', which is a bit too fuzzy to them, even though this doesn't depend on pagination. |

Of the choices there are for indicating progress, it's the one I prefer most of the time. I'm not that concerned about how accurate it is; it gives good idea of how long a chapter is. |

My personal preference is pages in book/pages in chapter. Reading times on a Kindle, Kobo, Tolino or Pocketbook ereader does not seem to like my reading speed. As an example, when I get to the 45% point in a book after 40 minutes of reading and I am told it's going to take 2.6 hours to finish the book and 11 minutes to finish the chapter, you get rather dubious about the usefulness of the times shown.

I doubt that is the problem unless the ereaders I've tested have a lot more artificial intelligence than advertised. From my testing, the problem is that none of the ereaders that I've tested handle reading speeds over ~500WPM well. One of my test books was a self-generated omnibus of the first 13 1632 books so about 2,364,000 words. While it was not happy on some ereaders, on the ones where it worked, the reading speed was still highly inaccurate a million words in.

I do not expect 'time to read' to be accurate. I don't keep track of it. I still think it is useful. I like to read to the end of chapters and even a rough estimate lets me calibrate my attention span.

I prefer to see how many pages left in the chapter. It gives me a lot more accuracy then time left.
