It does, but ten pages, not five

That would definitely be a feature I would like in the next firmware release for the Cybook!

The engineering team of Bookeen should try to play around with this and try to come up with something better than the current solution.

Does anybody know how this is implemented on the Iliad and the Hanlin devices?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but in a TOC you can get to the last entry quickly by pressing the "Up" button instead of going down all the way by repeatedly pressing "Down". So basically, you never have to press a button more than half the number of entries on a page (which is usually around 20 in a sensibly formatted book). In combination with the already mentioned "Right" button to get to the next page of a TOC it saves a lot of button presses that way...
