Tips & Tricks #3: Purchasing Items from Amazon on Your Kindle
This weekend I discovered a fantastic feature of the Kindle.
I was reading the Amazon Daily Al Dente blog post about a giant Wilton cupcake pan on my Kindle (since the Amazon Daily blog is delivered free) and was excited to learn Amazon sells the pan. I had been searching the art store and other baking supply outlets for weeks trying to find it.
Just out of curiosity, I clicked on the link in the post that linked to the Amazon product page for the cupcake pan and tried to purchase it. Within seconds I had signed into my Amazon account and bought the pan.
I estimate it took me less than a minute and a half to get from clicking the initial link to getting the confirmation page you see at left.
If you have a credit card saved in your Amazon account, you can purchase items from Amazon using the Experimental Web Browser, not just the Kindle Store, just like you can on a mobile device.
I would assume this means that you can shop from any online store that has a mobile site, although I haven’t tested it yet. Has anyone else had success shopping online from your Kindle?
