But....but....the footnotes & index take up FULLY ONE QUARTER OF THE LENGTH OF THE BOOK!
*headdesk*
I'm trying to imagine an audio-book structure for footnotes. It could be kinda like those "read along with the record" 45 rpm records around in the 70s - every time you were suppose to turn a page, the voice reading on the album would pause & you would hear DING! Everytime there's a footnote, you hear DING! and can somehow magically skip to hear it, then skip back...? That would be a tough one. And for this particular book there would be half sentence DING! three more words DING! another sentence DING! - kinda intrusive :D
