I'm still totally boggled that the writers of the software of ANY electronic book reader are such dumb (Rude word) that they don't/didn't incorporate a page Goto from the getgo.
I can only assume, aside from reading the Idiots Guide to Coding, they've never read a real book, ever. Gordon Bennett, it's enough to make you bang 'yer head on the desk to make sure this is not the Twilight Zone. Ax |

How interesting...
At the moment she has in use a Kobo Touch, but her previous older Kobo (Model from before the Touch) does have a Page Go in the menu options. The firmware version of that is 1.910 (r32284, Sep 8 2011) And it most positively does have a page GOTO, as I got her to demonstrate it. So why is it not there in later models and firmware versions?

Because the UI / UX experts at Kobo felt it was not needed.

Perhaps. I rarely use the goto page number on my T1 because the slidebar works so nicely. Mostly I use goto to switch from reading my mini on the bus to my Sony because I want to continue to read the same book. Perhaps I would switch to my Aura HD instead if it was as convenient.

That's a contradiction in terms... The Experts at Kobo, Pah!
If they felt it was not needed, why is it in some versions but not others, more like lazy coding? And I bet they write from the bottom of the page upwards as well. From what I've now seen of the User interfaces of two Kobo devices she has, I would seriously suggest your experts go back to the Dummies book of UIs and start again. Ax |

The model that does have the go-to-page does not have a touch screen. Hence the navigation methods that could be implemented are different. A go-to-page option is the simplest way I can think of implement stepping through a book without the use of touch screen or mouse or similar.

I just tried using the slider to navigate to a page, and I couldn't. I gave up after a minute of trying, the closest I could get was within 20 pages. This was on a Glo.

Rolling your finger on the bar can get you to within +/- 5 pages eventually though. Helen |

Do you mean that the goto page number function as in the goto page number in the my collections/shelf view is part of the renderer? I wouldn't think so, but what do I know. Helen |
