Hi. This is an annoying noob question I know but I have read the manual and searched the forums but I have not figured it out.

I have about about three hundred texts loaded on my Kindle 3 divided in to ten categories. I usual select what to read from the Home by going to a category and browsing but if I want to pull up books by a certain author I have to page to it with the home set to list by Author or do a search for the author's name which if it is something like Green or Miller also shows passages where the name occures as a word in various texts.

In list by Author can I jump to the page of listing by letter if say I can't remember the spelling or must I page to it in the say 35 page list of books?

I love the Kindle, the only thing I miss is the scrolling home page that Stanza had on my iPod which let you jump to a letter in the author or title listings.

Thank you.
