Well, I've just realized that the text will get stripped of all formatting if you use the "very simple" option. So it's pretty useless to try to get it into BD that way.

However, as far as the links go, using VVV's earlier suggestion (manual editing via BookDesigner's "Notes and links" editor) works great. When you don't have too many things to deal with, manual editing of the notes isn't too bad. I've been experimenting some more with footnotes, and they work in the Connect software.

Of course, there's no way to make a complete book with links intact, so it's a moot point, I guess. I wish the Reader supported HTML, or that the BBeB format wasn't so fragile!
