Actually you can go back to where you were by using the "Back" menu option. But it is still inconvenient.

Actually page numbers are quite bad. I've come to love the percentage display of QReader. (E.g., I'm currently "59,2%" through The Player of Games.) Not only does it give a better picture of how far along a book I am, but it also doesn't change when I switch font size, margins or page orientation. It does have one limitation, though: if there are more than 1000 pages you either have to use 2 decimals or live with the percentage sometimes not changing when you flip the page (e.g., in a book with 2000 pages a percentage with one decimal would only change at every second page change).

I would like to see both. The percentage bar and pagenumbers. Knowing pagenumbers makes it easier to jump to specific point in a book. Although reflowable formats would need some sort of smarter pagenumbering, which is consistent for anyfont and screensize. I guess a decimal with high precision would suffice, but its not intuitive to a user. Pagenumbers should also give you some indication of the size of the book.
