Forum tip: use posting buttons for making quick-links to Amazon

Here's another forum tip, about a feature available on our KindleBoards user forum

It's an easy way to create Amazon links based on text in your post.

When you're composing a post in the forums, you can select text in your post - for example, "Stephen King", or "rubber chicken handbag" - and then click on this icon: 

This will automatically insert our "amazonsearch" feature into your post. When you complete your post, the text you selected will be converted into a link. And when readers of your post click on that link, they'll be directed to an Amazon page showing the search results for that text.

It's a fast and easy way to build links in your forum posts!

Related: we have another posting icon that looks like this: . When you select text and click that icon, your text will be converted to a link for a search for that text in Amazon's MP3 store! Try it out with any song title or artist name.

It's just one of the exclusive features available on our KindleBoards forum - making it easier for you to connect your fellow forum members with Amazon items!
