I think you can do it Dori, as long as you lay off the hard liquor.  I'm kidding! But you can do it, I have faith! |

Yep. now it works. I was just clicking the "select" button and not actually copying the generated link to my clipboard, so I was pasting the raw URL address instead of the generated string containing the nested img 's. (cush banging his forehead on the keyboard. Sorry-, time for bed. Thanks for your quick responses.   |

How are people creating image links that take you directly to the "I’d like to read this book on Kindle" link in Amazon rather than just to the DTB page? I am guessing that you change the part of the link and copying the I'd like to read this book on Kindle link on the Amazon page. I'm not a HTML programmer so I'm just guessing. I'm going to paste my guess below and maybe I will be right. First the original link to the Book Page:  Now a link to the I'd like to read this Book on Kindle url (I hope  ): |

At the top of the page you will see the KindleBoards link-maker. Click on that and it's very easy to create the book cover links. KindleBoards will also receive a small percentage of any sales that result from someone clicking the link.

I found out about the link creator and was using it to create the links. I didn't know about the sales arrangement though - that's good to know - Thanks.
I was trying to use the link from the link creator to link directly to the I want to read this book on Kindle link. And I think I've got down.

Yep, for books that are not Kindleized, you can still use the link maker... You just need to change the drop-down menu from Kindle Store to Books. If anybody needs help with this, please send me a PM.

Thanks, I see what I did wrong in v1 now, I wasn't reading the instructions carefully enough. Still not sure how to get this book to work for v2.

Some Kindle books do not show up in the Amazon database that the v2 link-maker uses. There is no workaround, which is why v1 is still available. Your original post didn't show the picture because you chose the wrong link address. Image link addresses from Amazon end in .jpg. |

The Link-Maker 2.0 uses a database that does not have all of the Kindle books in it. Unfortunately, no such database currently exists. You can use the original link-maker 1.0 and create the link manually. There is a link to that at the right side of the Link-Maker page.   |

Hi Harvey--
I used the link maker a few times to link to my two books--however the last two days, it doesn't find either of them...not sure if it is Amazon search engine (although their link seems to work when I post on their forum). I tried the ASIN number, the title and my name...any ideas? I'll try them!
Full name is: Maria E. Schneider
Books: Sage: Tales from a Magical Kingdom
Catch an Honest Thief
I'll try again in a few days--oh-I was trying the link feature from the bargain books thread. It might be thread specific? maybe the thread is too full!!!!
best,
Maria

Link-maker is not thread specific. I too tried to find your books with link-maker and was not successful. I even tried searching in books and all but neither search pulled them up. I was, however, able to find them by klicking on your link in your signature.
Harvey posted in another thread earlier today that he's been very busy with work. Perhaps one of the other mods will be able to help you.

For some reason my two Kindle books don't show up in Link-maker (Widow's Tale and Rogue Wave), yet the paperback shows up. They used to. So I'm not sure what's happened.
