And then when you get to the part in the chapter with the endnotes, you have to page turn past it to get to the next chapter.
The proper way to do it is all the endnotes in one file with a style that does a pagebreak so when you go to the endnote, it is the only one shown.

There is no way to tell unless you follow the link. Having them at the end of the chapter will the chapter is still fresh on your mind is useful to not miss something useful.

I have to disagree. Having something in the middle of the book that has a very good chance of taking the reader out of the story is not a good idea at all.
