I understand why the epub acts as it does, but have 2 questions
- would it not be possible to have the epub work like the kepub ("epub spec" or not, after all the reality is that a superscripted link is always a footnote). I mean the kepub must be isomorphic to the epub but works differently.
- it seems to me that with epubs, the kobo looks first if you have hit an area of the screen for a kobo-defined action, i.e page forwards etc and only second if you hit a link in the epub

By the way I noticed that in the book I converted EVERY link got treated in the kepub as a footnote, is that a function of the conversion or the reader?
