Thanks for this info, A.M. I scheduled this as my newsletter article before I went on vacation without doublechecking that the instructions are still current (lesson learned) and now that I’m back, I’ll update the post. I appreciate this and you!

In reply to Gabi Coatsworth. I've found that when I try to do this, I don't get the Share buttons where the author indicated. Rather, there's a button to the right of the book title that looks kind of like an upload button. It's actually the Share button. If you click it, you should see the option to Embed.

The embed feature isn’t shown on the page because AZ tells me I already own the book, and apparently assumes I would never want to buy another copy, which is rather sad. 🙁 Therefore it doesn’t show the pricing information. I do use the shortlink in my promotions, but that doesn’t automatically go to the Look Inside feature. Any solutions?

In reply to SUSAN T MAAS. That makes sense, Susan. Maybe give it another week or two. Sandy

I’m not sure why, but my book page does not show the Embed feature. In the place you show, it has the share buttons, but no Embed. Perhaps because my book has just been available for a week. I will check back later.

Eye-opening info. Thank you. Now I have to decide where to use it on my blog!

Thanks Walter for this useful post!
I’m aware of the feature and would like to integrate it into my author webpage, but the embed-buttons lacks on my AMZ product pages. Both ebook and paperback were published in November. You allude to limitations with “Note that the embed feature might not be available if your book has not been released in Kindle format.” The ebook is kindle replica, is this the reason why? “Normal” Book preview is available for both formats, however. Any idea?
Thanks, Thomas
