The epub and mobi links both lead to "page not found".

Also having problems with the links within the PDF. They are blacked out though they still function as links. Same problem with the AI to Zombies ebook I think.

Otherwise very excited to read this!

Fixed the links to the epub and mobi!

Blacked out pdf links are new to me - what's the reader?

Sumatra PDF 3.0 on Windows 8.1 x64. I believe the problem is the same one this user had with the AI to Zombies ebook.

I'll be reading the epub personally (which works fine in Sumatra) on my Ipad so it doesn't bother me, but I thought I would mention it as Sumatra is a relatively popular reader and if this ebook is produced by the same team as the rationality ebook then it seems to be a recurring problem.

For what it's worth, I used xelatex and some of Alex Vermeer's code, but I can't see why any would effect the links, and can't find any suggestions for why this would occur in Sumatra. I'll just sit on this for now, but if more people have a similar issue, I'll look further. Thanks.

People have complained about Sumatra not working with MIRI's PDF ebooks, too. It was hard enough already to get our process to output the links we want on most readers, so we decided not to make the extra effort to additionally support Sumatra. I'm not sure what it would take.
