I gave up doing that as the embedded videos always seem to error for me. I'll add an embedded and regular link in future in case others have more luck.

You just use the text after the v= wrapped by the YouTube tags.

D'oh! Thanks. That had been bugging me.

Do you also know how to add image as a clickable thumbnail?

In a book, simply rip the page out and toss it into the trash! If you did that with an ebook reader, you wouldn't have a screen!!!

Paperbacks still have an advantage!

I only ever read in bed, pre-sleeping, so a Kobo is a far
better proposition for me than a little paperback or even
a trade paperback. The former's too hard to keep open
and usually uses a tiny font, and the latter's too bulky
and/or heavy for a laid down body position... tired arms!

Also, being able to read in the absolute darkness of my
bedroom after lights out is a huge advantage for me.
