What Diap said. In some devices, if the user will persist, and do a "long tap," the link will activate...but bear in mind that many--MANY--eReaders do not have web browsers in them, in which case, if you're trying to get someone from A to B, you will have achieved nothing but pissing them off.

use plain old raw naked links. Use a link-shortener that won't be gone, tomorrow, e.g., Bit.ly or Goo.gl. Put the FULL-length link, below it, so that they can find it, if the shortened address gets nuked for some reason.

THINK about your potential reader. Not what you think looks cool. I'm not criticizing, but geeezus, I must have this same convo 4x weekly, with people that give no thought to the reality that the vast majority of standalone Ereaders either have no browser or a sh*tty one.
