"Go to random page in book" button in e-reader
Hi. Could someone know if there exists a function which can direct into a random page of the reading book in e-reader? I'd like to know if some e-ink reader has it's ability, or, if not, maybe some software has which can be installed on a specific device? I am reading books which has very hard to maintain sequential reading than reading with random pages and it'd be nice if there's an opportunity to just tap one button in opened book to change current page to random to keep reading further continuously and interesting ! Thank you for your help!

The Kindle Flare might do that for you.

Hardly helpful as an answer to someone's first post on the forum.

Helpful answer:
I have never seen an ereader that opens to a random page.

I even looked at the obscure options of some Android apps I have used on an e-ink device. No luck there.

The nearest I can suggest is the Kindle's "page flip" feature. Enter page flip mode, and drag the slider to some random position.
