I thought I agreed (and even disabled said progress bar a couple weeks ago). However, the research suggests that there's a counter-productive degree of "distraction free" and that some eReader interfaces pass that threshold.
As a side note: I know that my expectations for a book change depending on my current position. I notice this every time I think I have a large amount of the story left, only to find myself unpleasantly surprised when it ends "abruptly" and that the next half is actually another story bundled with the first in a single file.
