Mind you, I think I'll go to my grave with my preference for the traditional look and feel of superscript footnotes!  |
Also, along with that preference, I have another one that ebooks don't yet seem able to satisfy: the use of text (or "old-style") figures in body-text. I had a disagreement with someone on here a while ago who thought they were ugly, but I feel exactly the opposite. There's a workaround, in the sense that some typefaces (e.g. Georgia) use text figures as standard; but I don't like Georgia, so that doesn't help me.
