I found here
http://www.idpf.org/doc_library/epub...htm#Section2.2
the following:
"Reading Systems must support all CSS2 selectors., including pseudo-elements and pseudo-classes. However, certain pseudo-classes may not be applicable to all Reading Systems (e.g. hover for devices with a touch screen) and may not result in any rendering on such devices"
Therefore I expected some troubles with the :hover effect on my e-reader, but not on my desktop ADE.
It's a pity, that would have been at least a chance of inserting a (moderately) dynamic note in my epub (with css :hover and the display property, as for the css dropdown menu).
I can not understand why the epub standard tend to completely avoid any kind of scripting or dynamic event (like the onclick handling).
Besides, the footnotes in paper book are quite boring and the internal links in epub tend to distract the reading (especially when one has to carefully tap a tiny tiny number on the screen such as my Sony, and to tap it again to go back to the chapter).
An hidden note, to be displayed right at the word it corresponds, but just on command, would be a very nice improvement
