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?
It's a limitation of Mobipocket. When you jump back to the page you were originally on, it might not render correctly as it doesn't render the tags on the previous page. Mobipocket is not all that good going backwards.
