Barnes & Nobles has apparently started selling their Classics Editions on places other than the nook store, so you can now get them from Sony and for the Kindle. I don't know if all of them are available on Kindle or not. Freading also has them if your library offers that, but it's only in epub format.

Also, on my Sony Reader, the footnotes in the B&N Classics Edition of The Wizard of Oz are hyperlinked both ways (selecting the footnote will take you to the list of footnotes/endnotes, then selecting the number again will take you back to the text) although the Sony handles position history natively.
