You know what is even easier for entering text or numeric sequences? A keyboard, even a virtual keyboard. If only someone could have thought of using something like that instead of a "D-pad", for a Go-To function. Well I guess Kobos without D-pads can never have an easy to use Go-To function.
If only.... There must be a way! Luck; Ken |

I give up.
If we were to go with Kobo's idea that a slider is better for a touch device, then they needed to do a better job of it. The slider should allow you to be page accurate. They could have a box that displays the page number as you use the slider and page forward and page backward chevrons, then you would be able to poke the box when the number is right. That would also save the battery, as fewer page turns would be involved. Or they could use a key/number pad popup. And you are right I do very very seldom bother with Nickel. But I do use my Kobo AuraHD for a number of hours everyday. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 11-12-2013 at 07:24 PM. |

Your opinion may differ. You are entitled to that opinion no matter how fine an example of wrongheaded, ill-advised babbling it may be. Kobo has implemented a goto page function for the library but have stayed with the slider/step/chapter step for navigating in books. Regards, David |

Being able to type in a page number would be great.
It would also be cool to do what iOS does for sliders: The best description of it I can find: Quote:

Note the following in the message you responded to: using the slider, the page number changed from 27 of 231 to 231 of 231 as I moved the slider. Given that the page display does not change until I remove my finger from the slider, the power use is pretty minimal. Also handy was the return to start function since that let me undo the page movement with minimal effort. Please notice the mention of the page number displayed changing as I moved the slider. The displayed page did not change but the page number did. Since I had started reading the ebook, I was already on synthetic page 27 which is why I started on page 27 of 231.
