However, given that every implementation of the Mobipocket Reader that I know of has a "back" facility for returning from a jump to an endnote (which DOES take you back to the page jumped from) it's an entirely moot point; there is no reason to use a link to return from an endnote in a Mobi book. Indeed, most Mobi books do not even HAVE back links.
But you know all this as well as I do - why try to pretend otherwise.? Is this simply the latest episode in your eternal anti-Amazon tirade, Jon?

All I was asking is if someone knows of a work around. I never mentioned Amazon. You did that. I know Mobipocket Reader has a back button that works. But as I've not tried all the different readers/software that support Mobipocket, I can't say how many have a back button./feature.
I do remember back in the early days when I a lot ePub that had endnotes did not have a link back because of the source they had not having such. But that seems to pretty much gone away with ePub these days.
