The ePub recommended way is to use the title attribute for short footnotes but then I know of no eBook reader that can display this method either. Making a block of text floated right could also serve as a method for footnotes. I have tried, on a recent book, to use smaller text after the paragraph containing the note reference. It actually works fairly well. Fairly easy to ignore, does not interrupt the sentence flow but readily available. It works less well for longer footnotes. There are too many readers out there that do not support links, such as Kobo.
