Actually the only way to have this is hoping before or after EPUB will adopt the @paged media. @footnote is here, I can use it with Prince, but I can not in EPUB.

Yes. In Android, AlReader does the same; it has support for display of footnotes on the page for fb2- and epub-files. So the technology to display footnotes in the same page already exists.

Actually coolreader do not show notes, show link content. So if you are reading a hypertext ebook is not usable.

http://e-ink-reader.ru/coolreader_en.php and this one too: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Cool_Reader EDIT: Of course, first you must enable the feature: and then select as "View Mode" (Settings.../Page tab) "One page" or "Two pages" (not "Scroll View"). After that, you'll see footnotes as the following picture: Last edited by RbnJrg; 03-08-2016 at 08:21 PM. |

Sorry, not. You don't see the footnotes, you see the content of the links destination. If you are reading a hypertext ebook where you navigate in ebook, coolreader is unable to understand when a link is a note and when it is a navigation element.

In your css stylesheet: Code:
a [type="note"] { /* and here you set the properties you want for notes, for example: */ font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; font-size: 0.7em; } Code:
<p>blah, blah, blah, blah <a type="note" href="#n1">1</a>, blah, blah, etc.</p> |

Regarding how CoolReader styles ebooks, remember that in the CoolReader folder you'll find the following files: epub.css fb2.css htm.css rtf.css txt.css If your ebook doesn't have css styles, then CoolReader will use some of those files. By the way, you can open them with a text editor and modify them with your own styles. However, for more or less complex layouts CoolReader is not the best ereader since it doesn't support many important properties (ie. float, border, etc.) Last edited by RbnJrg; 03-09-2016 at 12:07 PM. |

When I'm reading a book, I often mistake teeny tiny superscripts for misplaced punctuation or specks of dust on the screen, or don't notice them at all. I would prefer [1] as [Footnote 1] seems a bit much, but I could get used to [Footnote 1].

But what about superscripting? I noticed that having the [1] as a superscript was pushing up the line above it. I have this vague feeling that having a [1] in the middle or at the end of a sentence would look sort of odd. Putting the word Footnote in front of it disambiguates it. |
