Bookmarks are easy to set, but mark the start of a 'logical' page, so are not very precise. For better precision, set a highlight or note.

I haven't found lack of Back very problematic, since the other navigation tools compensate.
Curious about how the STR handles 'go to page' - is it the vague sliding bar that's on the nook original or can you type in the actual page number?

I do the same thing the OP does - I'll do a search (find) to go back and re-acquaint myself with a minor character in a book. Then I'll want to go back to the last read page where I started my search. On the orig nook there's no clean way to do this that I know of.
