Managing Bookmarks (K4 NT)

[Robmonster]

Morning all,

(I cannot edit the title of this thread, so please understand I am talking about the browser page bookmarks, not bookmarks in books that are being read on the device. Sorry for any confusion...)

Are there any software packages for managing bookmarks on the Kindle or is it only done via the device itself. I wondered if there was a way to add and amend bookmarks without having to use the K4 browser itself.

I have a Kindle Keyboard, but methods used there should work on the K4 NT, and be even more needed.

Method 1: Create a .txt document with your desired url's, and then either email it to your @kindle.com address, or copy it to the documents folder when the Kindle is connected by usb cable to a PC.

Method 2: Create a private web page on your PC in which you put the urls/links that interest you. Then, laboriously enter the url of that one page, one time (but see my P.S. below). Subsequently, all your new links can be done on the PC. There may be many free web hosting services that allow creation of a private, or public, web page. I use sites.google.com.

Method 2 takes more time to set up, but is better in the long run as you do not have to send over a new url document, and delete your old one, every time there is a change.

P.S. I you do laboriously put in a link, even just one, I would first put it through the tool at tinyurl.com to reduce the length needing to be typed.

P.P.S. Come to think of it, you should be able to directly edit your .txt file, in Method 1, whenever the Kindle is wired to the PC. So the delete step I mentioned can be avoided, and Method 1 starts sounding pretty good. I like Method 2 because I can add a link from any internet-connected computer, even if -- horrors! -- my Kindle is left at home.
