I just think of pre parsing one single page.

The one which contains the the target page of the first endnote sign.
I think that this would be too specific a requirement to be worth implementing. In your example you want the first endnote page, but maybe I'm interested in the third link on the page, which may have nothing to do with endnotes and be located in some other chapter. How can the firmware possibly know which link/s are worth caching?

Additionally, pre-parsing any other page could result in slower rendering of the original page.

Ebook Readers are still getting more powerful and the lag in linking to an endnote flow and then back to the original reading position is always improving so maybe this will eventually become a non-issue in a well structured book.
