What gesture does one use to follow links to Chapter notes on Nia

Just purchased a Kobo Nia. Cannot find a gesture that activates link to another part of the text (Chapter notes).
Tap turns page or summons menu
Press and hold selects text
Press and release gets Highlight or Add Note
Double Tap goes to near the start of Notes section in text, but not to any particular link, and no way back

Tapping a link should navigate to where the link points to. But, with an epub, the spot you need to tap is exactly the size displayed for the link. If it is a single small superscript number and you use a small font, it can be hard to hit. You can increase the font size to test if the link actually works.

Also, "Double Tap" does not do anything. They are treated as two taps. As it navigated somewhere, that suggests that one of the taps did activate the link. That it went to the start of the notes either means the link was to the chapter the notes were in, not the individual footnote, or, the footnote was on the first page of the notes section.

If you read a lot of books with footnotes, then I recommend using kepubs instead of epubs. The tap zone for a link is larger, and footnotes will be displayed in a popup.

Thank you for this info, and as an epub is merely zipped html, I can directly edit the links and add padding to the link number to enlarge the area.

Thanks also to reference to kepubs, not heard of them before.

You can use Calibre to quickly convert epubs to kepubs. Make sure to enable davidfor’s excellent kobo utilities, too.
