OK, I'm busted as an ereading newbie, since I got my first reader, a K2, a little over 10 years ago. I had a Palm V, but never even considered using it to read books.

Not only does the K4NT have a back button, the K2 does as well. Although the K2 is not a K1, I'm pretty sure that in 2019 it qualifies as an early Kindle.

FWIW, I think it is fine to provide a backlink for footnotes, but demanding that the book itself know how to get back to one of many references is a bit absurd.
