ThreadText: # Book length indicator for Kindle Paperwhite firmware 5.7.2.1
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-27)
  
  My username_2 Paperwhite has been updated (automatically) to firmware 5.7.2.1
  
  In the old firmware the length of the book was indicated by the number of dots below the book title. Bold dots indicated my reading process:
  
  > **.....**.........
  
  In the new firmware nothing indicates the length of the book, only the following is printed:
  
  > 42% READ
  
  Is there a way to change back to the old style? I really liked the way it showed the relative length of the books.
