Ectaco jetBooks (same hardware platform) have the same problem, but it's difficult to figure out why hardware would affect linking support. Maybe it's just a coincidence that both firmwares have this weakness? Or something weird about the hardware API? |
It's not a hardware issue. It's a software issue. There's no reason why the Alratek cannot follow links in ePub.
What really surprises me is the bugs that get let out into the wild for ePub with ADE. The not following links for the Aluratek/Jetbook and the font sizing issue the Kobo reader has with ePub. These are bugs that should have been caught before the firmware was released.
