This feature you speak of does not seem to exist, at least for epubs in firmware 2.5.1. The library lists do not show any page numbers, and a touch-and-hold to display options for a book in the Library list (not very intuitive) does not display any page number.

Personally I don't find the page slider very useful. It's too insensitive to get to a specific point in the book, and I can't think of any occasion on which I have wanted to go to a non-specific point (normally +/- 20 pages from the nominal position I am trying to drag the slider to). A specific page number entry would be much more useful. Normally I want this feature because a glitch in the book or an accidental touch has skipped 20-30 pages and I need to go back to the specific page I was reading.
