I also check that the book is "sane" on a basic mobi viewer & ereader, without publisher font enabled (if that's an option). I check on Kindle, Kobos, Nook, Sony PRS350, Calibre Viewer and various apps on Android phone, Android Tablet and Windows tablet.
This particular project isn't a standalone ebook at all, but an additional complementary way to access the text for the map board game (a large ring bound book so that a double page spread map lies flat for counters/avatars). The text will be in ONE copy of a paperback, printed like a conventional "Plot your own adventure" except there is random access into it from the map location. The choices also have map board related actions and dice throws.
However sometimes there are links internal to an ebook and also to the Internet (where HW & SW of ereader & app support Internet). It's part of quality control to test that ALL links work. Also an anchor for a link to jump to should only be at the start of a paragraph in the original document for maximum conversion compatibility.
I don't see how text and screen size affect properly constructed links and anchors? Maybe I'm not understanding.

You were talking about using some feature in Mobi to freeze the page where the only way out of the frozen page is to use a link to move on.
I do have an idea that would work. You have the last page that has the links to go to wherever. But if someon taps the screen to move on, you can have a few extra pages. Maybe the next page be a copy of the links and the page after that to say to go back. That way, an accidental page turn won't be a spoiler.
