Pop-up notes for iPad

[JSWolf]

Personally, I do prefer [1] for the endnote link then a superscript * or number as the superscript is harder to tap.

We now return control of this thread to the poor bastards who want to know about footnoting...

I just went searching for that, and it would seem that it's not available anymore -- maybe, I'm not sure. Sony seems to have discontinued it...

...and now it's Kobo. I did come across this, though...

...although that's not from Sony's site, and I don't know how old that page is (could be 5 years old, for all I can tell), or the software is that they have a link to. I suppose I could download and install it, and there would probably be an "update" button or something -- that's the software you meant, though?

Y'know, I do realize that amazon has the biggest share of the market, but I'm really starting to detest designing ebooks for that market -- it's ridiculous that ONE company puts out so many different devices, each with their own stupid little quirks, that you have to incorporate all kinds of ridiculous tweaks and "kludges" just to even do the most simple things that one can do for, say, iBooks. I don't really know much about other readers (I only have an iPad myself, and ADE for testing -- and prospectively the aformentioned Sony thing for testing, too -- and I test things out in KP before sending them up to amazon), but when I design for the iPad everything comes out beautifully, just wonderfully, exactly how I want it. With Kindle it's just a nightmare to design for (if you actually want to do any -- ahem -- DESIGN), even if after 10x the work you do finally get it looking "okay". :/

Google is your friend. I found Reader Library.

Oh! I did see that, too, but from the title of the page ("Software Update for the Reader Device") I thought it was an update for the ereader device, not for on a PC -- upon closer inspection of that page just now, though, it would seem that it is for Windoze. Thanks!

Kitties are there for the doggies to play with and when the doggies get hungry as a snack.

Happy to help. I do use Reader library when I want to see how things look on a 6" screen. It's mostly for ePub with photos/graphics. Sometimes the publishers have their heads firmly entrenched up their behinds when it comes to coding images to look good on a 6" screen. A lot of the time, they end up not fitting on screen.

BAD Wolfie, bad, bad, bad.

You know that there's someone around here who has termed him/herself as a "Curmudgeon in Training," right? You better watch out, your High Seat may be in danger of usurpation. I mean, speaking of "eek."

I don't mind Shakespeare. I do mind the way his work is taught in school.

Thanks for the model html for footnotes, Hitch. This has been the one thing I still relied on Word to do for me.
