If kthoom thinks the browser is in full-screen mode, it will hide the progress bar.
You can tell kthoom to open as many books as you like in the Choose Files dialog (shift-select all the books you want to open). Then navigate between books using the square bracket keys or use the Library drawer.
NOTE: kthoom loads in local compressed files and decompresses them in the browser, which means that kthoom has an implementation of unzip, unrar and untar in JavaScript. This code has been migrated to its own library: BitJS, a more general purpose library to deal with binary file data in native JavaScript.
