Even though I have an iLiad and could click a link to get a popup or a hyperlink, I'd rather just see the footnote below the paragraph it relates to, personally. I guess that's because I'm thinking about fiction authors like Terry Pratchett and Jonathan Stroud, who use footnotes extensively. For academic purposes, endnotes with hyperlinks would be fine. (How would you activate a hyperlink on something like the Sony Reader?)
