The concept of a "page" does not easily apply to electronic readers. If you increase or decrease the base font, then the number of "pages" changes accordingly. The Kindle uses location numbers rather than pages, since these are consistent, regardless of the size of the font you are using.
In the book that I am reading -- Fortune and Fate by Sharon Shinn -- at font size 2 I'm currently on a logical page that spans locations 2873-2883. When I click the next page button, the logical page spans locations 2883-2891. The next "page" is 2891-2900.
By moving back and forth a bit, I find that the number of locations per page varies from 7 to 10. There are more locations on the pages with more paragraph breaks and fewer locations on the pages with only one paragraph break. If I use an average of 8 locations per logical page, then I could advance 20 or 30 pages back or forward by doing a little bit of math and then using the Go To Location function.
But, what I want to know is how did you decide that you need to go to "page 65"? If you're trying to find the place in the book that is equivalent to page 65 in the print edition (and by the way, the layout varies even in print editions), then it's going to be very difficult.
Use the bookmark function to mark locations that you want to return to later.
