So you select the "Goto page" function and type in "99". You don't end up where you were - you could be dozens of pages away from it!

I understood your point about the bug, I was just responding to your question about why one would want page numbers.

Is the bug being worked on or is it something so low down on the totem pole that it may be a while (if ever) before it's corrected. BTW, the only eBook devices I've ever used were my old Handspring Visor and now the Kindle. I have no experience with other eBook readers.
