If their words are there in parentheses then you just keep reading. Similar to having to jump down to the bottom of the page to read them in a printed book, then afterwards find your place up above.

IDK, footnotes and endnotes have never fazed me. They're part of research and intensive reading.

If you're formatting an ebook there's way too much boilerplate; the link to the footnote, then in the footnote a link back to the original place, making sure the numbers match, and all the crud that goes around those. And if the author decides to add a new footnote before any others, those following have to be renumbered.
