First up, I'm new here - so hello everyone. Greetings from Scotland.

I am currently using my original Kindle 2.0 (my son has absconded with the Kindle 3/Keyboard). I absolutely love reading on the Kindle and actually prefer it to "real" books.

The one exception being books which use a lot of footnotes. Terry Pratchett would be a good example of an author who uses this device.

I find that the act of moving the cursor to the footnote number, clicking, being taken to a separate page, moving the cursor back, clicking, being returned to the original text, which for some reason has now been slightly re-paginated, is intrusive and distracting.

Am I the only one?

Is there another, better, way to do this?
