As many people, I am an avid user of Amazon Kindle. My family of three has two Kindles (2.0 and Paperwhite), my wife and I each have the app on our smart phones, and we each have Kindle for Windows on our laptops.
I was writing a document in Word and I wanted to be able to refer to particular sections of a Kindle book. I had a heck of a time figuring out the URI format, but I eventually put enough pieces together to give me what I wanted.
Here it is:
kindle://book?action=open&asin=B003G4W49C&location=1178
There are more options than this, but this gets you to a particular location... it is made up of three components:

There are more options than this, but this gets you to a particular location... it is made up of three components:
- action = open ... open the book
- asin = book identifier; you can find this in any number of ways. The easiest I've found is this:
- Go to your Kindle Content directory. Mine is
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Kindle Content - Then run
findstr /m "Ender's Game" *.azwwhere in this case you would replace "Ender's Game" with your book's title. - location = xxxxx ... whatever location you want to go to
Just thought I'd share...
