You might want to consider the issue of how an e-reader handles the display of foot/endnotes. If the notes are in a separate file at the end of the book then (depending on the actual reader) it might be necessary for the reader to close the file being read in order to open and display content from the endnote file.
Some readers for instance are capable of displaying footnotes (i.e. within the same file as the referring note) as a pop-up but endnotes (separate file) have to be displayed by jumping to the file that contains them and displaying that page.
The extra processing involved in opening an additional file each time a note is viewed could even affect battery capacity.
My preference now is for "footnotes" rather than endnotes.
I just downloaded a book where each note was in its own file at the end - this seems like taking things to the extreme.
The issue of having to jump over end of chapter notes is, of course, a personal preference and may be influenced by just how many notes per chapter you are dealing with, not a big issue with a couple of notes but annoying when you have a chapter with 40 or more notes.
