Based on personal experience of Kobo only (4 models) - I've seen problems with standard epubs (which use the Kobo's Adobe renderer) which contain footnote hyperlinks if/when the tappable link areas are 'too small'.
As long as the epub has been de-DRM'd, anyone with basic CSS/HTML skills (obviously not everyone) can fix the problem with the calibre Editor or Sigil if they want to by:
- tweaking the CSS to increase the size of the links and/or
- tweaking the HTML to increase the target area of the links e.g. by wrapping the number or symbol in square brackets, like [1] or[*].
I'm not an annotator myself but I believe selecting chunks of text is also a bit clunky in standard epubs with a Kobo.
Those who prefer to read kepubs (which use the Kobo's ACCESS renderer), whether official Kobo purchased kepubs or calibre-created converted kepubs, don't appear to experience the same problems with either footnotes or annotating.
For page-turning, menu item selection, dictionary lookups I can't say I've experienced any problems at all with any of my Kobos. This is not to say that the Kindles aren't better at some/all of these things.
