The free Crossway ESV Bible has footnotes like this[42]. On my K2 I can move the cursor there, press the joystick to jump to the footnote text, then press Back to return to where I was.

But on my Fire, I can't seem to find any way to jump to the footnote. Is there a way?

Also, the search functionality is broken in at least two ways:

1. It's slow because the book isn't indexed, and
2. You can't jump to a result and then go Back to the search results.

It baffles me why Amazon would make their high-end Kindle slower and clunkier than earlier ones. Do you think it's just to save the time and memory that building and storing the index would require?
