How to make a 'Look inside…' link for your book at Amazon

It's easy to create a book link that directs readers directly to the 'Look inside…' view at amazon.


  1. Find your book's ASIN number. You'll see it in the 'Product details' section of the book's page at Amazon. Copy the ASIN number.
  2.  Click this link - https://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/B004SP6N3Q/#reader-link Once you are at the page highlight the B004SP6N3Q part in the web page URL and past your ASIN over it.
You now have a look inside link to your book and simply need to press enter to go to that page.

Of course you can add any affiliate code you use. In my example that would make the link:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/B004SP6N3Q/#reader-link&tag=jaydax08
The &tag=jaydax08 is my affiliate code for Amazon.com - you would need to replace the 'jaydax08' part of it with your affiliate code.

You can also shorten the link using a link shortening service. For Amazon links I like to use smarturl.it links which allows you to use typing friendly links to direct readers to their local Amazon store:
smarturl.it/dseLook

Incidentally these Look Inside links have one other advantage - the Amazon page behind the 'Look inside' window won't scroll down from the top of the page to other parts of the page automatically.
