I once wrote to a friend of mine, whose non-fic book I read, and told him how frustrated I was to learn that I couldn't use any of his linked resources--because I had zero idea where the links went to. Nary a clue. It's not like a browser, where you can hover-over and see the link. And even if you could--what, you want to try to do that, and type a 90-character-long link into your browser?
Of all the people, Wolfie, I know you know better. You just brain-farted.
For the general public: about 40% of all eReaders out there do NOT have browsers or Net capability. If you put your reference-material, additional-content, etc., links in anchors, you are screwing your reading audience that isn't reading you on a tablet or smartphone. Don't do it.
