Footnotes, endnotes or online notes?

[Eva Elisabeth]

The detailed and well-commented sources (which are extended online) are one reason why I love Burlingame's "A Life"- volumes - and I like his style, too. BTW, I recently discovered that both volumes are online now.

And for the same reason, although I very much enjoyed reading it, I was frustrated whenever in Benjamin Thomas' Lincoln biography I came across info that was new to me and couldn't find out the origin and evidence.

As for online notes, just to add: online NOTES are ok with me - unless the book itself is available on paper!!! I couldn't read an entire book in digital form, it would simply pass my eyes and brain, and not much would really reach me. The contents would vanish as soon as the page did, and it would not make any sense for me to read (unless it's fiction) if I can't highlight or make notes.
