Note that for PDFs, I have heard that links within PDFs don't work.
Just for clarification:

i) it is a stripped-down browser so it does not have all features of a full browser, such as firefox, so it might be better to say that it works mostly like other browsers with some limitations.

ii) hyperlinks withing PDFs *do* work, very nicely. Links to external documents (e.g. other PDFs and webpages) do not work.
