Kindle Tip: A Kindle book wish list on Amazon

Posted on August 30, 2008, 2:32 pm, by EricaJoy, under Amazon, Kindle.

Amazon still doesn’t show an “Add to Wish List” button for Kindle books but you can get around their silliness.

Step 1: Create a new wish list (Kindle Wish List works)

Step 2: Add the Universal Wish List button to your browser.

Step 3: Browse to a Kindle book of your choosing (allow me to recommend The Story of Edgar Sawtelle or The Other Boleyn Girl)

Step 4: Press the Add to Wish List button (this is what was created in Step 2) and select your Kindle Wish List in the window the pops up.

Step 5: Press OK!

The only caveat is that people still can’t buy Kindle books for you (thanks Amazon) but at least you can show off how much of an avid reader you aspire to be. ;)

Yes, I should be putting together furniture instead of writing this. I’m going, I’m going!

    Great tactic to get the “Add To Wishlist” to work. It really surprises me that this option doesn't work. It is working on my website http://www.need4deal.com and we're running products from Amazon's Database.

    Thank you for the info,

    Amazon doesn't do a good job letting you know when a print book becomes a Kindle book…. I ran into this problem so many times that I created a website which lets me monitor print books on Amazon.com to alert me the moment they become Kindle books:

    I thought I would pass on the URL in case you or your readers might find it interesting.
