And even the "go to last read page" doesn't work because the footnotes are at the end of the book, which then becomes... the last page read. (you can jump back to the nearest footnote and then flip forward to your actual last read page, but this is such a crutch)

Score one for the 505 where I could always type in the page number to get back to.
I understand. I just finished the last of the "Discworld" novels a few weeks back. I'm reading "Nation" now and, thankfully, he does use chapters. Endnotes are a problem, no matter the reader.
