It's the book
As for why I can't use the chapter skip or table of contents: the book is formatted as one giant chapter. Sigh. Even if it wasn't, that'd be several hundred pages to fight through.
Using the Kobo desktop application is a good idea. I forget it exists, as I use Calibre instead of it for pretty much everything, but it *would* be handy for this. I'll give it a go.
As for charging more often: it should've been fine, as it'd been charged relatively recently and IIRC had a fair bit of power left. However, over the last few days it seems to have decided that it doesn't want to automatically enter sleep mode anymore, so it ran out of juice overnight. After being charged and powered on again it seems to be back to normal.
It's still incredibly stupid that you can't jump to a page, and that the Kobo doesn't sync its reading position to the database periodically. Some warning about running out of power doesn't seem to much to ask, either. I continue to dream about them open sourcing Nickel so I could get into its nice friendly Qt innards and _fix_ some of this, but it's not going to happen.
