It's fine with the PDF version, where I can click on it (though I didn't find that out until I didn't move my cursor over the text)
With Kindle, I cannot follow a step-by-step checklist without doing anything extra.

Cheers,

I've only glanced at the Kindle version of the book. I'll explore it more carefully.

Leanpub doesn't give any control over the formatting of links. I'll bring the topic up on the author's mailing list.

I'll add a note about the PDF somewhere in the introduction.

I've put some text in the Introduction recommending that Kindle users get the PDF version as well. Any tasks you need to follow links to do, you can't do on the Kindle anyway (install Clojure, for example), and the Kindle makes it hard to see the actual URL.
