I like the way footnotes work since if it is relatively short (< a couple of sentences) it's pretty much instantaneous whereas if you want the whole thing it takes slightly longer. Since more of the ones I read are short (rather than long) I'd rather this small preview window. I think the difference in behaviour you are seeing is the difference between a "footnote" and an "endnote". The endnotes take you directly to the full page. This could just be a difference in the way the book is formatted.

As others have said you can bookmark the list of characters and add a note that that's what that page is. Using the bookmark is the equivalent of changing a chapter often in terms of time to happen.

And yes the book has to have formatting for it to work (I think it's basically a hyperlink).
