Mind you, I think I'll go to my grave with my preference for the traditional look and feel of superscript footnotes!
Most tools are garbage. Vellum and Kindle Create are two examples of really awful tools.

However, Mobileread supports the two best tools available. They are calibre and Sigil. They allow you to play around with different style/formatting options in a way that would allow the industry practice to evolve more rapidly but the industry is run by morons who are fixing in their wrong ways.
