That is, in principle intentional. I didn't want to have the backlinks point to the footnote marker, but rather to the word, sentence or passage the footnote refers to, so that one does not need to page back to get the context. But I was a bit lazy, and instead of looking for a good place to anchor each footnote, I decided to link them at the start of the paragraph instead. I'll consider changing this, though. Technically, there's nothing preventing the backlink to point anywhere. (Anyway, it's always better to use the "back" function of your reader, if it has one.)
There is a "back" function on the 350, but it's "Press the options hard key", "tap Goto", "tap Previous View" which is so much more effort than just tapping the "Back" link on the page

Hmm... can't you activate the links without using the touchscreen? That's where keyboard/keypad navigation comes useful
No keyboard/keypad on the 350. Just a small row of five hard buttons - page back, page forward, home, zoom and options. If there's a way of selecting links with those I haven't discovered it yet.

That's a bug in Adobe again (see #3 here). I'll try to work around it as suggested in post #12.
That &nbsp; workaround does indeed fix the centering on my 350.

Good to know that of my "issues", some were Adobe bugs, some weren't even issues and the others (to do with links) are more user interface issues on the Sony than anything else. As I mentioned originally, none of these are really more than minor annoyances and didn't detract from the reading experience at all.

Cheers,
Simon.
