Citations, it looks like. The author basically does her commentary inline in the text.
It's the principle of the thing, really. Grates on the nerves to have these dead little superscripts sprinkled throughout that you can't click on to see where they lead. All the while on the bus, I was wondering exactly what the heck extra the author might have had to say.
Plus it's sloppy. If the publisher's got one malformatted book out there like this where the linking doesn't matter all that much, you can bet they've at least a few more where it does, and the Gentle e-Reader may be missing out on supplementary value that can only be measured in milli-Pratchetts.
