If you are on a non-internet connected device, you can still manually read and type in the first link.
Yup, what Tex said. ;-)

Naked links: the eye can see the link, and replicate it via typing.
Anchor links: the eye only sees the "click here" (or whatever) text, and has no good way in some environments to see or replicate or get to the linked content.

Honestly, I didn't think about it for years--until that thing happened with my friend's book. I now recommend the naked link thing to all our clients (although only about 50% listen to me, but...hey, a girl can try).
