How to get back from footnotes

Hello

I'm reading an e-book using Adobe Digital Editions. When I click on a link for a footnote mentioned in the text I 'm transfered to the footnotes where a can read that actual footnote. But how do a get back to the page in the text in the book?

So let's say I'm on page 30 in the book and footnote 7 is mentioned. Then i click on  "7" and I'm transfered to the footnotes where I can read footnote 7. But after  I have looked at  foot note 7 I want to go back to the text in the book. But How do I get back to the page I was reading?

Of course I can scroll up to page 30 gain. But isn't there a way get back to this page in one click? And let's say I forgot I was on page 30, how do I then get back to this very page? The best would is there was a "back to page" button, or if the footnote was shown in a pop up so I did't have to leave the page in the first place.

Thanks in advance

    Users have been asking for this since at least 2014. It's now 2024 and Adobe hasn't introduced this very basic function. This tells us they have no interest at all in improving their app. Users' experience is an afterthought.
