Sorry for the late reply. HarryT: if it were doing only that, yes, it would be ok. But (I am using a K3, OS 3.4) here is what happens:

I read p. 5. There is a footnote (not rendered as a link, so I have to find the location), I find the corresponding page and read the footnote. Go back to the main text.
Things are fine up until this point. Yet, on p. 6 there is another footnote; so I need to go back ["forward"] to the notes section again. But when I press the back button to do that, Kindle goes to the home screen.

So, you have to find the location again and again.

Similar to what Victoria wrote: Bookmarking would be an interim solution (interim because one reads forward in the notes section as well whereas bookmarks are fixed), yet bookmarks are mixed with "notes" (again on a 3.4); so finding the relevant bookmark becomes harder and harder...
