>endnotes instead of footnotes
I prefer no notes at all.

Agreed. Everything that otherwise would have been a note should be integrated into the regular text. This includes editor's and translator's notes.
Appendixes are fine, but I agree, end notes are trash. If it's relevant to what I'm reading on this page, I shouldn't have to flip to the back of the book to find it.

Ok guys seriously I'm not trolling here does everyone actually know so many languages? I took some French in high school but I was a filthy philistine (and still am) back then who didn't take advantage of that opportunity to learn it, but even now it seems like such a great undertaking in order to become fluent enough to be able to appreciate good literature in their native tongue. I'm 19, tell me what I'm supposed to lol...
