In addition, I can't find a book published by any of the most prestigious/well-known publishers - or, indeed, any book at all, though there must be some - that doesn't work according to those specifications.
Here's one such, sort of… the print edition of Charlotte Gordon's "Romantic Outlaws" published by Random House has 50+ pages of bibliographic notes that are referenced by page number and a snippet of text, e.g.

3 William Godwin did not think… Emily W. Sunstein, Mary Shelley: Romance and Reality (Baltimore. Johns Hopkins University Press, 2989), 26

There are no cues in the text! I doubt the ebook edition is any different.

Aside - when they hide the relevant text 'popup' notes can be very irritating, even more so if there are multiple notes for the same paragraph that need to be read together. I often extract the notes to a separate file and put it on another device.
