Yup, does work. You can move the "return to text" link for older/other devices to the end of the footnote (looks nicer) and not ruin the layout!
Code:
body.xhtml . . . <p>Blah blah bleach blah<a href="../Text/footnotes.xhtml#fn01" id="ft01">[1]</a> bloop beep burp bing.</p> <h2><a href="../Text/footnotes.xhtml#fn01null" id="ft01null"></a>Chapter 2, it is</h2> footnotes.xhtml <p><a href="../Text/body.xhml#ft01" id="fn01"></a> Please note, the foot. <a href="../Text/body.xhtml#ft01">Click here to return to text</a></p> <h4><a href="../Text/footnotes.xhtml#ft01null" id="fn01null"></a>Footnotes for Chapter 2</p> |

No, I thought one of the other posters said or implied that, or that's how I read it? My query wasn't directed at you; it simply came next-in-sequence after your post. Hitch |

You might have formatted your footnotes properly or perhaps it ignores <h tags... My "headings" were <p><b>Heading</b></p> ...

Oh, interesting. You don't need to put the footnotes in a page called footnotes - I've got a book with them at the end of chapters, but they have the link-loop (although they only use <a href="#ch1fn1">) and so still pop up an inline box on the PW2. Nice!

Like I mentioned earlier; I think it would be pretty hard to NOT get "normally"-coded footnotes to pop-up an inline box on the devices that support them.

Biggest gripe is that ampersands don't work... so any & type character gives an error in the box. Last edited by Kamikuza; 01-26-2014 at 05:26 AM. |

This is great, thanks - I'm going to experiment with Kindle popup footnotes soon, so I'll add any notes as they come up. Really useful initial testing, cheers!

It turns out that if you implement popup notes in the same way that works on iBooks for example (with epub:type, aside, etc), they DO pop up in the Kindle, BUT the Kindle expects the cue reference to contain both the "href" to the note and the "id" back from the endnote. If you separate the anchor as I did, it mysteriously concatenates a random number of endnotes (not all of them, and not all the time). ...so in conclusion, not so simple. Or at all clear. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. |

…one thing to point out is that Kindle disregards any formatting in the popup so italics (for example) will be lost in the popup, but preserved if you click on the "Go to footnotes" button. I assume they'll fix this at some point in the future. Or has anyone managed to get this to work? iBooks does the same.

No, it does formatting - <i> for italics works, and <small> or font-size works too. The only thing I've come across that gives an error is the ampersand sign...
I'm doing my epubs as simple as possible, but with the focus on them working on the Kindle, my sole reading device. |

Calibre & KF8 footnotes
It looks like Calibre has some bugs regarding footnotes when converting epub to azw3/KF8. When old mobi made with Calibre from same exact epub footnotes are OK, pop up windows show only one footnote. If I convert that same epub with KindleGen single footnote opens in pop up windows, same correct behavior for combo mobi file and mobi and KF8 file after splitting the combo one with KindleUnpack plugin for Calibre.
The only difference in html code that I've noticed when comparing original epub vs Kindlegen generated file (and the same case for Kindlegen KF8 split vs Calibre generated KF8/azw3) is that Kindlegen file has ID first and href after ID, as in: Code:
Original epub: <a href="../Text/Section0067.xhtml#_ftn1" id="_ftnref1" title=""><sup>[1]</sup></a> Kindlegen azw3: <a id="_ftnref1" title="" href="part0035.xhtml#_ftn1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> Calibre azw3: <a href="part0037.xhtml#_ftn1" id="_ftnref1" title=""><sup class="calibre7">[1]</sup></a> For Calibre azw3 clicking on some footnotes jumps to html file at the end of the book, and for some opens popup windows but shows multiple footones and a scroll bar. Like this: Tested on Kindle PW1 with fw 5.4.4. Of course all the footnotes are marked up the same way within the same book. I've attached a zip of original epub and Calibre generated azw3 file, is someone want's to check on their own Kindle devices. "Napomene" in ToC = Fusnotes/Endnotes html file.
