Ahh, interesting. Thanks for the comments. ;-)

If some ebooks work in this respect and some don't, then I gather it has to be to do with the code used.

I understand that different readers interpret the same code differently (to some degree), so I guess we're still at the "Microsoft vs Netscape" level of ebook development, where code is still effectively proprietary. But it would be very helpful -- and, I imagine, in their interest -- if Kobo were to release some technical examples of how to make certain types of formatting (like endnotes!) work reliably on Kobo readers.

Wouldn't that be a good thing?
