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?
|
No GOTO PAGE feature just yet... we're hopeful it will be added in a future firmware update. Your only other navigation choice, besides page flipping, is the Table of Contents.

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?
|
Yes. You can use drag'n'drop with the Kobo.
EDIT: It comes to me that I might have misinterpreted your question. The Kobo only has sorting by Author or Title: You can store the books in whatever folder hierarchy you wish, but navigating through the library on the Kobo itself is limited to Author/Title sorting.

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.

There is no 'collections' support on the Kobo yet. What I usually do is use the 'Create Catalog ... ' feature of Calibre. If you use the TOC and jump to the section that lists 'books by author' alphabetically, it will group series into a nice numbered list for each author.
The only other way would be to edit the titles of your books (eg, Mistborn 1 - The Final Empire, Mistborn 2 - The Well of Ascension, etc)
