(1) The Hounds of Blant are a summoned horde of misbegotten gnomish hunting dogs whos bray can piece the heart and cause the most stouthearted to cower in fear or turn and run(C1)

"(C1)" links to the initial "Hounds of Blant" endnote call in the body of the text. Selecting this will send you back to the page you were on when you left to read the endnote.

This will double the amount of hyperlinks in a given book, but you need not worry about making bookmarks, and having a BACK TO BOOK button in the firmware.
This can be simplified even more. Footnote (1) makes a hyperlink to the Endnotes thus:

(1) The Hounds of Blant are...

The return hyperlink is placed on the (1) in the target. Click that and it takes you back to your place in the body of the original text. I used this method in a PDF version of Beowulf I formatted last year. It works well enough in Adobe Reader and on the PPro too, as long as you know how to active hyperlinks on the PPro.

I'll try to attach the Beowulf file here:
