So, I've been using nov.el for #emacs to read epubs. It does a pretty decent job of it, but I have one point of irritation: I can't for the life of me find a way to tell how far through the book I am. Is there some way to see this?

I use it! It shows a % figure on the bottom line, but it does it only if I maximize past the 80 columns (in other words, it doesn't appear on my VT terminal!).

@peron Yeah, but that's the percentage through the current buffer (chapter).

I think this might help

ps - I know this is not related to your question about nov.el specifically but I saw its readme, it shows page number in modeline

@मोक्ष / untrusem ⁂ This package appears to render documents using SVG output. Considering that I spend 95% of my time in the terminal, this would likely be a deal-breaker for me unfortunately. 🙁

this is for Doom but might give you some ideas? I stole some code from here and it's a bit beyond me but involves setting a custom modeline when in nov mode > tecosaur.github.io/emacs-confi…
