"I'd like to read this book on Kindle" link gone?

What's up with that? I just noticed it's not there.

Hmmm, I'll have to go look at that again. Yesterday I looked for that link on a cookbook I was interested in, and it wasn't there. I assumed maybe it was because it was a cookbook or something. (Off to look again.)

I'm back, and you're right. It's gone. I checked a book that I've been waiting for (Prairyerth by William Least Heat-Moon), and it doesn't give that option anymore.

Yes, I've noticed it as well. Maybe Amazon have decided it's a waste of time. Or maybe there's some evidence that it was affecting sales of the edition being shown on the page (unlikely, but you never know).

This is so strange! It is just not there for me. Has it moved to a different place on the page or something? You're using the Amazon US store, right?

We've never had that option in Australia. I use this site and hope the publishers check it occasionally:

This is good for keeping an eye on price drops:

Yep. Amazon US. It's in a box at bottom left for me.

I forget what book I was looking at yesterday (I was trying to get descriptions for all of my free downloads) and I DID notice that "click here to read on kindle" note WAS available.

It's not here! Maybe something to do with the fact I'm viewing on a netbook, without much room? But how do they know, if that's it?

I bet I've figured it out, although it doesn't make much sense! The other day I had a popup on the Amazon site that asked if I wanted to change my default view of books to the Kindle view when possible. I clicked yes. Maybe that's it?

That likely is what changed although I don't know why they would take it away. I will make sure never to check that if it offers me the same. I hope you can change it back so you can still request Kindle books.

Last night I had some kind of view up on Amazon where I could see how many people had requested each book on Kindle. Now I can't remember how I got there. Does anyone know how to see that info?

Well, I certainly can't see it. I'm looking at the main US site, logged in via my US account. I've just checked a dozen or so books, and the link is definitely gone.

I wondered if I was just looking at books that are already available for the Kindle, but, on a closer look, that's not the case.

Nope. I changed it back and that didn't do anything.

Hey, if I've already requested it for a book, maybe it won't let me do it again? And that's why it doesn't show?
