I have always preferred footnotes. They have two glaring advatanges:

1. No need to go dog-earin' at the end of the book or chapter, thus messing up how you wear in a new book's spine.

2. The relevant note more quickly absorbed, you can immediately return to the text with minimal interruption of the author's line of reasoning.

Whenever I go to the bookstore or library these days, however, I notice more publishers moving to endnotes as the default method of contextualization. In textbooks or large history books, this makes reading more of a tactile chore when it should not have to be. Why the change?

I'm going to look into this.
