In my next batch of books, the first with footnotes, I've decided to use end notes and put them at the end of the chapter / xhtml file. In the body of the text I'm using

Code:
<a id="backref1" href="#ref1">[Footnote 1]</a>
No superscripting, no font size change. At the end of the file it has

Code:
  <section class="endnotes">
    <header>
      <h3>End notes</h3>
    </header>

    <ol>
      <li id="ref1">Hannibal, Missouri. (<a href="#backref1">Return to previous place.</a>)</li>
    </ol>
  </section>
Again, an easy to tap link for returning. Perhaps crude and inelegant but it's easy to tap.

Criticisms, thoughts?
