I literally bought a Kindle of the sake of reading Infinite Jest.

I independently highly recommend both.

Are the footnotes etc. well handled on Kindle? Going through the Disk World series right now and some books are great some a mess

The formatting of the footnotes was fine for me. Kindle's footnote navigation system wasn't really set up to handle pages long footnotes when I read IJ, but the latest update seems to have brought some improvements to that UI. Overall, IJ's footnotes should be very manageable.

Yes. I'd love an answer for this as well.
