A lot of the self publishing writers probably don't have their own ereader, so they won't know it has other uses other than jumping to a specific location.
True. Though if they're going to offer their work to the public in that format the least they could do is get one. It's a basic part of the checking process. If they live in a garret like me they could use Amazon's Kindle Previewer, which is provided (free) for this very purpose. Are there similar packages for other ereaders?

Absolutely.
