Quick Amazon Direct Link Generator
Tired of schlepping (spelling?) over to Amazon to re-familiarize yourself with how to set up a direct link to a single product? Try this little bookmarklet instead:

Create Amazon Url

It works as is, by clicking on it, or just left-click on it and drag it up to your browser's toolbar and it will be saved there for whenever you need it.

Once it's on the tool bar, right-click on its icon and left-click on the Properties menu selection.

When that comes up, you just have to change where it says "YourAmazonAffiliateIDHere", to be your actual Amazon affiliate id.
