They could have a box that displays the page number as you use the slider and page forward and page backward chevrons, then you would be able to poke the box when the number is right. That would also save the battery, as fewer page turns would be involved.
Oddly, as I move the slider the page number displayed changes -- opening "A Room With a View" and using the slider, the page number changed from 27 of 231 to 231 of 231 as I moved the slider. Given that the page display does not change until I remove my finger from the slider, the power use is pretty minimal. Also handy was the return to start function since that let me undo the page movement with minimal effort.
