Okay, I hear ya.
I'd actually gotten a bit discouraged about this (again) and ended up working on an entirely different book, but now I'm just wondering, if only to confirm...
When you refer to footnotes/endnotes, for the coding do you mean you're just using a regular HTML link/anchor? That is, basically something like this...
This is a sentence <a href="#footnote">with a footnote.</a>
...and...
<a name="footnote">Here's the footnote.</a>
...and that's it? I haven't tried that out on the iPad yet -- and not to be lazy about it, but assuming you have, then does that give me a "popup" note (with the book being epub2, not epub3), and for the Kindles that are "popup-capable", is that all it takes for footnotes (anchored links) to "popup" as well? For this particular work in question (see the link in my original post), I do think it'd just be so much nicer for all those
many notes to "popup", like they do on the web page, rather than constantly jumping back and forth in the text.
