This is custom software on my Android reader, but the principle could be implemented on other things.
The first bit is to have a stack of book locations.
When you start a book you navigate to the first page of actual reading material and
Push the location.
Then, using the TOC you navigate to the first page of notes and
Swap.
That takes the top of the stack (Chapter 1), removes it, replaces it with Note 1, then jumps to Chapter 1.
Now that you've got that set up, any
Swap will toggle between the current place in reading and the current place in notes.
The two points are not static so that turning pages in reading or notes advances things.
My Bluetooth remote has buttons for PgDn, PgUp and Swap.
Making it painless to read footnotes lets me not miss "here's an interesting story" in a sea of ibids.
