That is part of a larger issue I am finding with newer readers. The software is not up to snuff with important features like ...

Goto page
History
Bookmarks
Easy to use working hyperlinks

It's issues like these that make me wary of trying an unknown reader. The hardware could be good but if the software is not all that good, that makes the reader not all that good.

I am surprised there is no goto page on the Kobo. That's just something that should have been there from day one with ADE.
