Hello,

I posted this question on the Kindle publishing boards at Amazon a few days ago and I haven't had a single reply.  I'm hoping I'll have better luck here.

Does anyone know the Amazon feature (or remember if it is no longer available) for linking books together if they are mentioned in the text of another book or in another book's bibliography?

I can't remember the exact phrasing, but I think it is something like, "This book is cited in these books..."

In effect, it becomes a way for a nonfiction authors to link and cross market their works with similar books.

Thanks.

This is an old question, but it never was answered so I'm trying again...

Not sure this is precisely what you want, but a quick and dirty way would be to Listmania it. 

Make a list, say "Books Referenced in X," and then list them all.

Great minds think alike!  I did end up using Listmania exactly as you suggested as another way of achieving the goal. 

However, if that other feature still exists, I think that would be more impressive to potential nonfiction readers since it is more official.
