Hi,
I was desperately working an alternative for the "hover" feature of regular browsers, when I stumbled on Liz Castro's blog on footnotes for epub3 and the link to a working example (see here-attached a smaller and corrected example for testing).
It works great on my Kobo Glo (only for the kepub.epub file): the footnote call opens a preview message box for the footnote when it is taped-on.
This is a preview, and the text also appears at the end of the "chapter" as a normal endnote would.
As I wish to edit a bilingual text with quite a lot of notes, I wanted to hide the text at the end of the chapter and only keep the preview version visible.
I am going to do more testing, but if someone has already tried something like this any hint would be much appreciated.

(kepub.epub and epub are exactly the same, only the name changes: the kepub.epub naming activates the adobe engine which works usually better than the regular viewer on Kobo)
