I just sent the following note to Kobo support but then figured that I would probably get a better and quicker answer on the forum here.

I am looking at buying the Kobo ereader for my mother to replace our Sony PRS-505 which has started having a few problems. I have three questions that I haven't found answers to on your website.
1) In an epub book can I "goto" a specific page number? If not, can I jump forward a bunch at a time (and backwards)? Is there anyway to navigate through a book other than one page at a time?
2) Do you allow, or is their 3rd party software, to view books directly through the folder structure. I currently own multiple ereaders and use this feature extensively. I have all my books stored on my reader by genre / author / series / title (incl series #). I use the folder navigation far more than I use Books by author or title. Is there some way to do this with the Kobo?
3) I use Calibre extensively. I have a library of 2500 books where I have recorded the series and series number for all books where appropriate. If I wanted to read my Alex Cross books starting with the first one in the series (written by James Patterson) how would I find it on my Kobo? Obviously I don't know the title of the book just that I want the first or second in the series.
