It is, as has been pointed out by others, very odd that they make percentage the one and only always visible position indicator, but did not give the ability to 'Goto' a percentage.

I understand the idea of only showing percentage by default (it's always 0 to 100 and people know intuitively that 50% is halfway, 90% is 'almost done', etc) and I understand pressing menu to see page number, location, or any other indicators they might add in the future, but why on earth wouldn't they also include "go to percentage" along with "go to page" and "go to location?"
