Footnote links work fine

I recently converted an e-pub book with footnote links (the footnotes were at the end of the book, not the bottom of the page). I was delighted to discover that the footnote links worked just fine and were, in fact, much easier to use than in a DTB*.

I imagine the ultimate determination of how successful any given conversion is depends on how well the original epub was formatted.

* Use the 5-way to scroll down to the link, click the link, which jumps you to the appropriate footnote, read the footnote, use the Back button to jump back to the same page where the footnote link originated. Slick!
