> Kindle only shows "minutes left in chapter" which is functionally useless The kindle recomputes your reading pace as you go, so unless you prefer to do that math in your head and track your own pages-per-minute moving average, I don't see how it's functionally useless

I think they're saying that it doesn't show any info like page numbers

I always find Kindle's "minutes left" too low for some reason, so I have to ignore it. I'd find it simpler - and easier to make progress - if it just showed pages read/remaining within the chapter. Absent that, I am often having to go through the distraction of using the overview feature to figure out where I am in the chapter.

  If you tap on the minutes left text in the lower left corner of your screen, it will cycle through pages, minutes left in chapter, section and blank

    I do use that, but what I want is some idea of progress or pages remaining within the chapter.

how can it calculate that when I don't turn off the Kindle when I get distracted?

  Well if you get distracted easily, then the "minutes left" will be accurate ;)
