iOS app has a Back icon as well as dots. It will be disabled most of the time, but if you make a series of jumps it enables and lets you go back to any of the pages you jump to, until you arrive back at where you started (and then it is disabled once more). So this is nice if you just want to jump around randomly and return to where you were. A page turn will disable the Back icon, and establish a new 'anchor' position.
There are a max of two dots shown at any time, so if you jump more than a couple of times in a row, the original location will lose its dot and Back is the only way back.
A bit tricky, but useful once you get the hang of it.
On android (and Fire) the system Back takes you back to the library. All you have to work with are the dots, and again you only have two available, so the oldest location drops off of the jump history if you jump to a new location.
A good idea to set a bookmark if you are worried about losing your place(s) by jumping around. I would say bookmarks work better on Kindle, Fire, and Android apps than on iOS app , since they are easier to navigate to (the list pops up if you tap in upper right corner).
