That would indeed be amazing, at least for advanced users.
There's a background job that does do that, but without the dialog.
Its timeout was too short and it was killing things when they were slow but working, so now the timeout in it is so long that it rarely fires even when it should.

And an option to 'Go to page: xxx' where you can just type in the number.

I may be mistaken, but this seems like a frequently requested feature.

- other epub problems that might cause the kobo to run out of ram
- crashing aging hardware
- corrupted database, frequently caused by unplugging USB during a database update
I think the huge TOC issue may have been fixed or at least mostly mitigated in a firmware update within the last 4 months.
