I was talking to customer service at Amazon and he told me that we should start seeing the "sign up to be notified when this item becomes available" feature on kindle books.  He said there are some items out on the website now with this, but will eventually be on all soon to be released items.  I hope he is right!

That would be great.

Yay! I have a small list of books that aren't available in Kindle format that I check weekly. It would be nice just to have an email notification, if & when it's available for Kindles.

Now if they could only make Wishlists for Kindle books...

I hope he is right. I would love to be notified for the books that I am waiting to come out on Kindle.

What a great feature that would be!

This is good!!  But has anyone written a program to take our list of books wanted on Kindle and automatically click the "I'd like to read this on Kindle" button monthly, weekly, daily, hourly.

Whatever it takes, man.

I have seen it on several books but there is no way to actually do it. That is, it is not a clickable link or anything. Very frustrating.

It's been saying that as long as I've had my Kindle but there is no way to do it.  It will be nice if they finally get that feature to work.

So this would be books showing up on the Kindle books screen to be available soon. how about a link in the regular book section under "I want to read this in Kindle" that says "notify me when this book comes out for my Kindle". Then I could just tag all these old books I want and would not have to check back over time.

This would be great.  I can whittle my wish list down that way once I figure what I really want.

 

[Roos Mom]

Some people have added the link to there posts when their book is not available for Kindle yet.  I know what it is like to find a book i want and it is not available for the kindle.  If the link is added to the post and i find it while i am surfing the Kindleboard i will take the time to go and click the link for them.  It only takes a minute and who knows there might be a day when we won't have to beg to get a book we want for our Kindles until that time comes i will do what i can for everyone who whats a book.  I think of it as my good deed for the day.

I would love this feature... this is great news!

That seems like a no brainer way to sell books for Amazon. Sometimes they confuse when they refuse or delay fairly simple things that would lead to a lot of sales.

 

[Anju]

Sounds like Amazon really wants to work with us.

 

[stevene9]

By the way what I do now is save the non kindle book to my shopping list (as opposed to my wish list). Then once a week I go to my shopping list and go down the list clicking "I want it on the Kindle". There appears to be an army of people interested in getting the sci fi book Replay on the Kindle, and I am that army.

You can add Kindle books to your wish list. If there are customer reviews for the Kindle book, click on the stars. Once you are on the customer review page, there is a button to add to your wish list.

Better yet, Amazon has a universal wish list that will let you add items to your wish list from other sites, but I use it to add Kindle books to my wish list so that I don't have click away to the customer review page.

Thanks for the tip Ogie287!

Oooh, very smart. <Runs off to start her new Amazon shopping list>
