But here is the problem: the author has a Sources page that in print goes on for three pages. There are probably 30+ https://... TEXT in there. Not one is a link. They are all text. So why does Kindle tell me there are 5 broken external links? None are formatted as links, only text.

Can I just ignore this or do I have to do something?
Generally, links are wrapped as:

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement</a>

There is a possibility that you have links elsewhere in the ePub. Perhaps a search for href on the other files might help?

Otherwise, can you post just that file so we can take a look at it? I'd suggest opening the ePub in an archive utility (7-Zip for example) and extracting that file and then attaching it to a message here.
