Odd. I went and tested this on an iPad 1 and a Retina iPad (so two different versions of iBooks) and couldn't get it to work. I tap the hyperlink, the black aura appears around the word, it hangs for a couple of seconds, then just goes away. I wonder if my book is simply so massive that iBooks takes too long to "summon" the text and the action gets killed halfway through.

You'd think they would just have a back button...
I know Nook doesn't, and Kobo, anyone else?
