What about Nabokov's Pale Fire? I have only the Lancer paperback from 1963. The poem by John Shade occupies pp 23-49 and the Commentary (the footnotes) by Charles Kinbote runs on to p213. The first note, to lines 1-4, has four paragraphs.

I suppose the Kindle edition could simply cheat and set the Commentary as text. If there were no footnotes, there would be no popups, I suppose.

Ah, but I see that the Kindle sample does indeed have links to the Commentary. Alas, even the earliest links aren't included in the sample.
