I can't see the footnote marker, and can only view the footnote in the end of the chapter. I can view normally by using Moon+ Reader, Reasily or Calibre.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Really appreciate your help.

I am pretty sure this is a font issue. The symbol used for the footnote reference is named "CIRCLE WHITE BULLET" (according to the calibre editor). This looks to be Unicode character U+29BE. From what I can see, none of the fonts supplied with the device have this character. And unfortunately, the firmware doesn't show anything to indicate a character is missing.

The fix is to either sideload a font that does include the character or edit the book and change it to a character that will be displayed.
