I am so rarely out of step w/ my #twitterstorian colleagues as on this topic. I love endnotes. Reading notes is distracting; no one needs to read them all. Put some trust in the author (once they've earned it) and flip back only when you need to. Use a bookmark.https://twitter.com/SebSobecki/status/1080969854260252673 …
Endnotes used to bother me, but I made my peace with them for monographs. For articles, where the writing is tighter and more focused on evidence/argument than narrative books tend to be, I think the argument for footnotes is stronger.

I'm reading a kindle version of U.S. Grant's Memoirs. The notes are at the end of each chapter... about which fact I have mixed feelings. Seems both the worst and best features of both footnotes and endnotes

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of end of chapter notes.

For endnotes, I put these Lesebändchen in books. Or I put them in books to use as bookmarkers. Let me know if you would like me to bring you some from Deutschland!

Sorry, I disagree strongly, I read notes and I dislike having to continually turn to the back of the book to read them
