Shortcut to the Kindle store
Ok,
Does anyone know if there is a way via URL or some config on my amazon account to include Kindle books in the search filter? When I go to amazon.com, Kindle Books isn't even a selection in the search filter. The only way I know how to get to it is to go through the departments list on the left, choose books, then choose kindle, the choose kindle store. There's got to be a direct URL to get to that point. Thanks, BOb |

Just bookmark the Kindle store once you get there. Unless I'm misunderstanding, that's all you need.

So, I created the bookmark and called it "Kindle Store". Now with FireFox 3 when I type that in the awesomeBar finds it. That'll work in a pinch I guess. Thanks for the idea. BOb |

I keep the link to the Kindle store in my main list, where it shows up as "Amazon.com Kindle Store: Over 145,000 Books, Newspapers, Magazines, and Blogs." I've been updating it once in a while to keep an accurate book count.

k book title and press enter it goes to the kindle store and searches for the book title. NICE!!! The more I learn about FireFox 3 the more I like it. BOb |

I just started using Firefox (just to give it a try). I will have to try that out.

Firefox gives me a bar across the top where my 'favorite favorites" are listed. "Kindle Books" is the first one. Can't be any easier.....

I always type in kindle.com and it gets me to the books. I wish it was easier.

Yep, kindlebooks.com works just fine in Safari, too. I keep a Kindle Books bookmark in my favorites along the top of the screen-one click, no typing, and I'm there.
