'The Message'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
98% is misleading, though! You don't know if the book actually goes to 100% or not. Like the Sherlock Holmes books I have are from Project Gutenberg, so at the end is all the copyright information and whatnot, so the books actually end in the 90% range.
It's like how I have to check each ASOIAF book to figure out when all the damn appendices start so I can gauge when I'll hit the end of the actual book.
The thing is, Roth is mad that the Wikipedia article states that his character is alleged to have been inspired by Broyard. But that is a fact; several prominent reviews of the books suggested the inspiration might have been Broyard, including Kakutani in the Times; there are links in the current version of the Wikipedia article. Philip Roth can (and, obviously does) argue that the character was not inspired by Broyard. But Wikipedia is (and was) not wrong when it states that it was alleged that the character was inspired by Broyard.
So, Philip Roth is an ass, but then, I thought that anyway.
A book called By the Blood of Heroes: The Great Undead War: Book I is being described by B&N as "zombie/historical military/steampunk."
So what I fail entirely to understand--if you flip forward in a "real" book to find the next chapter--why don't you just do that in an e-book? That's why I asked how you were doing it before, because I assumed it was some way (I couldn't fathom) that couldn't be duplicated electronically.
I don't really see the problem, especially considering it's easier to get back to where you were up to reading.
How? Maybe I'm not doing it right. I can go up to the next chapter, but the change in percentage doesn't really tell me how many "pages" I have left, and to get back to where I was I have to flip back manually page by page or go to the chapter I was in and flip forward manually.

Exactly. With a physical book you can put your finger on your current page while you flip forward to find the end of the chapter (or even to the last page of the book) and then mark that page with a bookmark, so you don't have to keep checking.
Do most of your books not show the fake page numbers, and P-C? You can also use the gesture to go to the next chapter then click the back button on the menu bar to return to your pre flip location. The back button is the only thing that kept me from throwing the Kindle touch at the wall ages ago, since I accidentally flip to the next chapter basically every other page.
The gesture? There are no fake page numbers on my kindle, only percentages. I've had my kindle for several years, so they may have changed it since then.
Books in my Kindle app have page numbers. I wonder why they did that differently?
