Side Notes were most recently brought up in this topic here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254785
I posted some code/examples/images that I used way back when (the code is crummy and needs some work, but it is most of the way there). This was using CSS + floating text.
I would recommend against using them in ebooks, unless the words are extremely short, and/or the Side Notes are used very sparingly. Remember, the user can raise the font HUGE.

Tables... we have had LOTS of conversations about Tables over the years (whether to do them HTML/SVG/Bitmap (PNG/JPG)). The pros/cons of all three were discussed at length.
Here is the go to topic on HTML Tables I always point towards:

SVG Tables were discussed here:

I personally still side on the pure HTML side, and if needed, "vericalizing" the tables into ~3-4 column length data. :P
If you are going bitmap... for the love of the gods DO NOT use JPG.

That might also be an ok fallback, but it all depends on the data. I would most likely take a "verticalized" table over the purely plain text method. :P
