Answer 1

as per MVC pattern each of your url is a controller so:
if you, for example, want to link to
http://www.site.com/users
so the controller will look like:
class Users extends CI_Controller{
function index(){
//do somenthing here
}
function list(){
//list your users
}
}
then in your views linking to that controller is simple:
this will link to your users controller and index() method
this will link to your users controller and list() method
the site_url(); method will helps you finding the right link both if
you are using index.php or not in your urls

Answer 2

<a href="<?php echo base_url() ?>controller_name/function_name">

Answer 3

If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the index.php from the URL, you can write your URL as href="/sellbook" otherwise you will have to include it, such as href="/index.php/sellbook".
This assumes, of course, that you have a properly configured route name sellbook. See http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html for details on how to achieve this.

Answer 4

If the links are to other pages on your site, then I think your best bet will be to use the url helper, assuming you're using the standard seo friendly format and not query strings. This way, you don't have to take into consideration whether you'll be using .htaccess or not. For example:
echo anchor('your_controller_name/your_function_name/param_1/param_2', 'Sell Books', 'title="Sell Books"');
// or for your home page
echo anchor('/', 'Home', "title='Home'");
If it's an external link, you can use the same function or just a plain html tag:
echo anchor('http://google.com', 'Google Me', 'title="Google Me"');
// OR
<a href="http://google.com" title="Google Me" >Google Me</a>
Note: make sure you load your url_helper in your controller if you'll be using the anchor function:
$this->load->helper('url')
// or add to autoload.php
You can also do it the way #sbaaaang suggested.
