Kobo Glo: Where's the table of contents?

Just got me a Kobo Glo, firmware version 3.19.5761.

Love the font resizability--such an improvement over Kindle's limited choices.

However, I can't seem to get to a table of contents for any book I read. By this I don't mean the toc.html written into the book and coded by a person, but the structure information that comes from the toc.ncx file that is part of every Epub.

On the Kindle you can get to this from any point in the book just by touching near the top of the screen and selecting "Go to..." at which point the toc.ncx structure info is displayed in a drop-down menu.

On the Kobo, there seem to be two menu buttons, and neither one of them has anything to do with offering to show you the table of contents. The three-bars menu in the top right corner says Light/WiFi/Charging/Sync/Help/Settings, clearly more device-option oriented. The three-bars menu in the bottom right corner says Annotations/Search in book/Dictionary/Reading settings. Now none of those options seems to relate to viewing the table of contents of the ebook you're reading so you can quickly navigate to the chapter you need.

Is it possible that the Kobo Glo has not included this most basic of features?
