It is being run through an HTML renderer. It is rendered in a QWebView then the print as PDF support is used. Qt's PDF output does not support links at this time. There are no plans to move to a different library because this produces the most accurate results out of the renderers I evaluated while implementing PDF output. Google would not be an option because that would require an active internet connection.

FBReader doesn't have very good EPUB support. Open a ticket for an option to use thumbnails instead full size images.

That's why I said should, but not all viewers are as good as calibre's
