OK makes sense, I guess it's per-book anomalies then. Or maybe even per READING APP anomalies, based on your last. That one is slightly disturbing. I assume the option is to just live with it manually clicking links back and forth from page, to footnote, and back to page (unfortunately, that only works when the footnotes are ALSO linked back to the original page; they aren't always). Or of course, use good ole' Calibre, and if I can figure out specifically what's causing the popup footnotes to fail in android, reconvert the offending books and then sideload them back into Kindle cloud. What's worrisome about going that route is, you wonder if fixing it in one reading app will break it in another.
