Hello,

I'm MB. A very nice and polite guy.

Thanks again for excellent epy. I've used it a lot, especially for reading Philip K Dick books.

Feature request 1:

Being able to disable "loading content" message. I find it distracting. I want to kind of sink into the text of the author and the "loading content" message reminds me of the outer world. Being able to disable that message or use a custom message if anyone wants that would be good.

Feature request 2:

Progress in page numbers, not in percent. Also visible even if text is enlarged. So it feels alien to see the progress in percent. Even if the current page depends on the size of the text, it's still preferable to percent. It just feels more like a real book. I'm not comfortable about checking progress in percent. Also, if the text is enlarged then the progress won't even show. I have to reduce the text size in order for it to show up and then enlarge the text again to make it comfortable. It would be good if we could have a way to always see the progress even with larger text and also in pages, not percent (both available of course, maybe some people prefer percent).

Hope for the best : ) See you later.

There is a bash tool for putting text at a specific place for example in the top right corner. Maybe it could be used for this purpose (page numbers with enlarged text) or a Python equivalent. Forgot the name of that tool.
