I started using Kobo with the 2.3.1 firmware (I'm still new to this game ) and this bar doesn't ring a bell.
I never thought of using the navigation bar this way but I'll make sure to try soon once my current kepub book is over. Thank you for this advice.
It doesn't seem to involve more steps than checking the TOC on the Sony 650. It may even be quicker
