Is there a way to change the % read on kindle

[TellerTuesday]

To show you the percentage of the actual book you've read.

Just had yet another book where there wasn't as much left as I thought and it drives me mad.

I was 85% last night and thought I would save the rest for today.... turns out it finished 89% and the rest is a sample of another of the author's books.

This doesn't always happen though so not like I can bank on them all finishing around 90%.

Has anyone found a way around this.

Can't you have a look at the chapters first so you know that the end is a sample? I doubt you can change the percentage

I don’t even know how to get the percentage. It just shows up randomly,

OP, the % is the length of the whole book product - some include chapters of an upcoming new book, some don't. As pp says, just check how many chapters there are if it bothers you that much.

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow you can just gently tap bottom of the page and the %, reading speed, location, how long till next chapter etc will appear.

As easy as that?

Yeah. It probably disappears or appears every now because you've tapped bottom of page without realising when turning pages or something

@TellerTuesday can't you just turn it off? On mine there is a 'reading progress' option. You can select 'none' or have it showing location in book or time left in book. I always have it set to none. Not sure if some models have different settings?
