What iBooks versions did you install on the iPad 1 and Retina iPad?
Why don't you retest this issue with my test file? If it works, your footnote .xhtml file or the aside definitions might simply be too large.

Ah! Sorry that I wasn't clear. Your test file did work fine, no problemo. It was testing
my file on iBooks 3.2 and iBooks 3.0 that didn't work. So yes, I suspect that my files are just too massive.
Sigh.

The Kindle, Kindle2, early K3's (that's an IIRC, mind you) didn't have "back" buttons that worked, I don't believe. I have a K2, but honestly, right this second, the battery is drained and I can't confirm my recollection. (Pretty sure, tho).
So...by the time you have millions (ye gods) of early Kindle devices, add in what, hundreds of thousands of Nooks, and some tens of or hundreds of thousands of Kobos...no choice for the wicked. ;-)
Not to mention, there are SO many other things that use two-way links...{shrug}. It's nutty to rely on the kindness of strange devices. :-D

Okay, good to know on the Droid readers, thanks! And yeah, obviously just doing a back link is preferable, if possible. Far more compatibility, there.

Indeed, I have a K1 now, and I can confirm that it has a back button.
(The K1 is trippy and interesting, btw, with its asymmetrical shape and that little shiny line dancing line on the side. Kinda retro. Makes me think of like, Dr. Who or something, even though I've never seen that show.)
