Sure. When I test I'll post here.
Hmm, converting to kepub doesn't seem to be a Calibre Convert Books option. I'll do a search on how to do it.




Yep, I think you are right.
I was hoping that simply clicking on the underlined <abbr> text would bring up a balloon but I guess the ebook software developers don't think it has a use in ebooks.

I'll stick to my Character Summary at the end of the book. I create these as I read the book. (jump up from my reading chair, run to my pc, edit the new character into the ebook, back to reading in my chair...)

Thanks
IF it were for me, myself alone, which is my clear inference here, I would build a footnote, and then regex it to all instances of "Bob" or "FBI" or whomever. I would simply make it a footnote; most devices have popup footnotes today (and if not, you can jump and jump back) and that's it.

Do it once; then regex it into every instance of Bob, and well...Bob's-yer-uncle, more or less.

THAT, or do an index in the source material (Word, LO, etc.) and then import that thereas and use the index.

Offered solely FWIW, from someone who uses a LOT of annotated material in her work.
