Likewise the Kindle Paperwhite gained the ability to show footnotes as popups -- this works for old and new books and is difficult for the publisher to mess up due to how Amazon implemented it.
I don't know how Kobo handles it. They may require specially using the epub:type=footnote attributes, in which case it may be a PITA to get it working on an old converted book.  |
Do I now? Well, the Aura HD uses IR as do the Glo and the Sony T3, or don't they? Whatever your Kindle does or does not, I don't know as I never have touched one and I surely never will. And even when I read through my post, I can't see where I have mentioned the Kindle in it.
As for being a PITA to make it work, all my books are sideloaded and only a handfull of them bought at the Kobo store, yet they all do everything I described.
So please tell me, where exactly do I spread misinformation here?
