Yeah. Good advice. I've never liked the OS on them anyway. I feel you, bro.

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.
So the code I just provided and the experience I've had using it must involve some pretty heavy hallucinations, I guess. Well, that can happen when you get older.

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?
That's a good observation. Don't know how I didn't think of it. I do have a vague recollection of a lengthy argument with my wife about possible approaches, pros and cons, etc. But somehow we must have missed this.

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.
I just hate it when I do that. Don't try that code I posted on a Kindle. I'm so embarrassed.

But thanks. The best idea here has been to forget the Kindle. I'll definitely be going in that direction, and so my work in this thread is now done.
