I agree. Having a scrollbar as a percentage completion indicator is a very nice thing. I can also highlight the text on the page where I was at in the likely event I get distracted and have to move on to something else. At this point, I do this out of habit on any article longer than a few paragraphs. Side note, if your site pops up a stupid SHARE THIS ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER when someone highlights text, I most likely won't read your articles. I didn't read this one because Medium does this; SBNation articles do this, too and my browser now loads custom Javascript on their pages to remove it. It's distracting and serves no real purpose, except to take me out of my flow of reading.

After posting the initial comment i found a most interesting Firefox extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/column-reader/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/column-reader... It allows me to single out the main text of a site, and break it into screen height sized columns. These can then be paged through much like a book. Seems to make it much easier for me at least to get through a long article without jumping between paragraphs.
