The Back on the Go To scroller enables only if you jump to a new page using the scroller or direct page number entry.
You also get 'Back' button after clicking on a hyperlink (footnote etc.). But if you turn the page it assumes you are changing current reading position and the Back button goes away.
I haven't found Nook's lack of a Kindle-like Back function very inconvenient, after using Nook for awhile now. On Kindle it is pretty much required, but Nook has other navigation options that more than make up for it IMO. They need to support multi-level TOC though, and I would prefer that bookmarks record the exact location (i.e. as determined by first item displayed on a screen of text) rather than the beginning of the 'logical' page.
What I'd like to see in addition to Back is a reading history navigator that would function like browser history. This would make it much easier to jump back and forth between two or more locations in a book, or between books.
