Hmmm -- good thoughts from both of you -- thanks

Obviously the footnote at the foot of the page image on an ereader is not going to work

So it seems like there are 2 kinds of notes? Cites and additional material?


So what are your thoughts on a 'one size doesn't fit all' approach?

a. Cites to a source document would seem to work best using a non-superscript [##] hyperlink to end-of-chapter Notes. I almost always have each chapter in a separate file so no complicated RegEx.

b. For actual information, the inline but distinctively set off seems less disruptive to the reading flow.

c. Additional walk-on question. Is it really necessary these hyperlinking days to use the paper book footnote number approach (regardless of formatting). I have a hard time hitting such a small target on a good day. It would seem that hyperlinking from a word or phrase to the noted material and reversing by hyperlinking back would be more ebook friendly
