Actually, I don't agree. If the coding standards like EPUB were altered to support it, it wouldn't be hard at all. You tag something as a footnote, place a link to it in your main text, and when the reader flows the main text, it places the appropriate footnote at the bottom of the page that contains that text. Word moves footnotes around so that they are always on the same page as the text as you write a book. It's no different...
