I've found quite a few books where footnotes (if that is what you are referring to) are not properly setup. The footnote forward link should point to the footnote while the footnote should have a reverse link back to the footnote forward link location. I've seen books where the forward link simply points to the start of the appendix where the footnotes are stored with no reverse link defined, books where the forward and reverse links are static links which no longer work after changes were made unless you feel up to locating and manually editing them and the ones where the footnote markers have no links though they will be underlined to make them look like a link.
If the ebook is in epub format and not DRMed, you can use Sigil to examine the links. Though I have to warn you that looking at the source for many ebooks may be hard on your stomach. Very often, the first thought that comes to mind is that your 4 year old child/grandchild/neighbour/Malemute could do a better job of creating a standards compliant ebook.
