Show page numbers or timestamp alongside progress bar

If I update a book, I only see the % I have read. It would be great to have 300/500 (so 300 pages read out of the 500), so I know better how much I still have to read. Same for audiobooks, so that would be 8:52/9:15 (so have read 8 hours and 52 minutes from the 9 hours and 15 minutes)
Also a little thing added for this:
If I update a book with, the next time I see what I have logged last time (66 pages for example). If I do this with % or hours, it doesn't say that. Would be nice if that was added. I always like to see how much I read quickly.

The reason you don't yet see page numbers by the side of the progress bar yet (and why you only see it as a placeholder in the form to update your progress) is merely a design issue. There wasn't a clear space to put it in the current design without that section appearing cluttered.
Regarding why you don't see the number of pages when you log a %: A % for a book typically spans a few pages! Depending on the book size one % level can span 5/6 pages. We don't know which page you are actually on!
With hours, I think that's more of a performance thing where we'd have to reverse engineer the HH:MM timestamp since we store minutes.
That's not to say we won't improve all of these things! Just explaining why they are the way they are now.
Nadia Thanks for the reply :)
