They quite literally cannot work, because every page in a KC-generated fixed-layout eBook is a jpg. Not a PDF page with live links, or text; it's a jpg. I reported this "bug" about links not working now...3 years ago, I believe it was and I don't see them being able to solve that. EBooks altogether don't have document mapping for images with links, so...

Without getting into a squabble....
I accept they are not working on IOS - this is the kindle app at fault /arguments between amazon and apple.

They definitely work on the android version of the app. (barring the last link as stated). Hence the preserve links option in KC.

I also renamed the rsrc8 file to a .pdf in the resources folder. It opened in my pdf reader with all hyperlinks intact and the text is selectable for cut and paste, so no jpgs.

And yes I obviously tried a live copy. Have you tried KC in the 3 years since you reported it?
