Just to try epub3, I converted my book to epub3 and placed perfectly orthodox "<a epub:type="noteref" href="doc.html#whatever>" and "<aside epub:type="footnote">" bits and footnotes didn't behave better than epub2 notes until I've split every footnote into a single html. They keep being unstyled and don't get displayed if more than a single screen is required to show them.

The thing is that I prefer popup notes because they show up much faster than they do when jumping to the actual document they are in. Probably it is down to the fact that they are plain unformatted text. Or just because they are in another separate document.

I'm going to try to place them at the end of the document they are called from and, if I can, make them all jumpnotes. They will be properly styled and hopefully load faster as well because they are in the same file. I seem to have read somewhere about a way to have them hidden from regular view. I'll post about my findings
