About two years ago I came up with the idea of “go to page number”.
Try it.
Go to http://mada.org.il/en/
On the home page, type 1437 in the “go to page number” form on the right side and click the purple circle.
We are using this method in a brochure we are publishing for junior hight science teachers. I have prepared an annotated image of the brochure in English so you can understand how it looks like. (If you read Hebrew, you probably don’t need the annotation.)

We are also using this method in a booklet we have sent to all the schools in Israel about our educational programs.
People understand this method intuitively and in the site statistics I see that it is used.
