I've got the B&N classics edition, also. While I decided to order the Fagles translation from the Amazon marketplace for a trivial sum plus shipping, I'll give the B&N footnotes a whirl.
I know it's a doorstopper, but with a book like the Odyssey I think I'm happier being able to flip around the pages, and I wouldn't be trying to read it on the hoof anyway. Very much a YMMV situation.
I'm curious to know which translations others are choosing.
