Skipping pages on the Kindle home screen using the number keys

I'm a 'push buttons and see what the computer does' kind of person, not one who reads the manual, unfortunately, so this feature may be in the user's guide.

If you hold down a number key and press page forward while in the home page it will skip to that page (1-10, anyway). I mainly read items in the first 10 pages out of 21 at the moment, so this is handy.
