Indicate on website which books do not provide ready access to footnotes or which Kindle version is unable to do same. Reappraisals: [etc] by British author Tony Judt does not allow the reader to read the footnotes in situ. Now I have to go out and buy a hard copy so I can read it the way the author intended. My purchase will not be from Amazon: they have my $10 already.

Wouldn't this be an issue with the publisher and how they present the book when they load it up to Amazon?

I'm not a fan of the on/off button's position. I easily bump it often since it is on the bottom. Normally I turn the whole darn thing over so it is at the top and that helps.
