Agreed, this is not what you (or I!) want, and especially you cannot go to page X. A workaround is to either search for a word in the book, if you remember what was in the page you wanted; or use bookmarks when you find a place you think you'll want to get back to. But again, these are just workarounds, and we don't get the functions you want.
The issue is that I think we on MR are not representative of the majority of readers, who may be even overwhelmed by too many features. Extolling the virtues of my completely customizable, function super rich Pocketbook generally only elicits blank stares, and my mum and dad found them so unintuitive that in the end they never used them!

Thanks for the input. Interesting perspective Paola. I couldnt realize it ( before your post because you see, the kobo glo is my first reader and it is not even a week old. I didnt know I was being too demanding, I thought I was asking for the most basic necessary features
I looked up for the ereader you mentioned, it seems something really above and beyond, astonishing! Too bad the price is also very intimidating
Paola, do you think this page display issue is something that will ever be solved? Do you know if other rival ereaders like Kindle Paperwhite face the same problem? just out of curiosity
PS: forgot to comment your first paragraph. I know what you mean about navigating but I often find my kepubs being segregated into hundreds of small chapters instead of real authentic chapters, that maked navigating them even more difficult
