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...

The weakness there is that your book doesn't have footnotes as links. If you have links, as any decent ebook should have, the "Back" button works as intended (click the link to read the footnote, then the "Back" button to get back to the main text). This is really a fault with the book you're reading, rather than with the Kindle.
