Forget Kindles. Deal with software that does not have popup footnotes or a back button. Correct code does not always mean it's the right code.

Let's say you have 3 references to the same footnote. How are you going to make it easy to go back? You would have to have three back buttons. And you would have to have them labeled so it's obvious where they go back. But, what if the reader doesn't know which one is the correct one to press? These are things you are not taking into account and that's why your way is all wrong and you need this footnote three times.
