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?
The footnote should be displayed as a link which responds to a touch/tap for viewing.
