To create a tiny url of a page that has a long url, copy the url, then in a new window or tab go to:

http://tinyurl.com/

Paste the long url into the box on the page and click the appropriate button. It creates the tiny url for you. You may then copy and paste it as needed.

It’s handy to save the tinyurl website in your favorites. If you do a search for it, be careful where you click. I did that once and ended up on a malicious Web page.

Hope this is helpful!

In follow up to Patricia’s comments, I posted recently on the relationship between the DRM world of publishing and the rapidly disintegrating (print)newspaper industry:

(sorry, don’t know how to do the tiny url thing quite yet)

Great dialog from all!

I’ll have to look into this computer issue. I don’t have a Kindle (I use the Sony at the moment), though to complicate everything, can I admit that I’d like a Kindle 2?

I’m not so sure these things will be ironed out if people aren’t proactive about it — or at least discussing it! I appreciate your comments.

If you go in to “manage your kindle” and down to “Your orders and individual charges,” it lists the books and subscriptions you’ve purchased. It offers the option in a drop down menu that says “Download/send to” and the options are “computer” or “Kindle.” I’m trying to take a screen shot but I don’t really know how to send it to you so maybe someone else with a Kindle can confirm?

I’m sorry, though, if my earlier comment came off as rude at all. I simply want to play a bit of devil’s advocate, and I think it’s very important to keep up conversations like this! That’s why this is a great (and very helpful!) blog.

I bet these things will get ironed out, just as they seem to be changing and improving with ipods and mp3 players. That’s why it’s important to bring up these issues, definitely.

I understand that Amazon backs up your purchase, but my question is what happens when they decide to stop or go out of business? And, how do you get Kindle files onto a computer? I can’t find documentation for this. Always willing to admit when I’m wrong!

“In fact, if I delete something on a whim and decide I want it back, I can send it again. Doesn’t that make it mine? I think so.” I disagree. Again, if Amazon doesn’t exist, you won’t be able to do that.

As for Apple, they’ve actually dropped DRM, and you can now take their MP3 files and use them as you like (though you need to pay to convert your old files to the DRM-less format). You still can’t manage another player through iTunes, but you can move the files wherever you’d like.

Who researched this?

As far as reading Kindle books on another ereader, well, if anyone has tried to put an mp3 from itunes onto a Dell Jukebox (it’s like an ipod but isn’t) you’ll know itunes doesn’t allow it. Apple only allows certain mp3 players to access itunes. There are ways around it – but this is nothing new in the digital world.

If I traveled more, I’d probably be craving a Kindle or some sort of e-book reader more than I do now.

I like that Thomas Nelson plans to bundle the audio and e-book with the print version in one purchase. (Disney’s kind of doing the same thing by issuing new blu-ray recordings with a bonus standard dvd.) If more publishers did this, I’d be more likely to give e-books a try.

Second, in case the appeal of ebooks hadn’t already cemented itself for me, it was brought home last night as I was packing for a trip. I’m in the middle of Anthony Lukas’s Common Ground, and I have a four-hour train ride today. Unfortunately, the book is huge and weighs three pounds, and I don’t have room to pack it. Of course, there’s no Kindle edition and I don’t have a Kindle, but right now I’m wishing for both.
