More Wish List Simplification

It's true-I do spend a great deal of time on Amazon. If we need books for school, books for fun, printer ink and paper, a new movie to watch or even some less abused sippy cups-I often turn to Amazon for an initial price search. Where we live such items are not always available in the local shops or if they are it is still cheaper to have them shipped. Thus-with no ability to browse through a book shop, I will often keep adding items to my wish list to remember what has interested me or struck the fancy of another family member.

So-I have had a huge multi-page Wish List. All of the above mentioned items were co-mingleing and becoming unmanagable. So, I created separate lists to keep track of the multitude of items I had collected. Now-I didn't fancy trying to refind every item on my original Wsh List to add to the new Wish Lists. So I made yet another discovery-one undoubtedly as familiar to many as the orginal discovery. You can move items between lists!

You accomplish this feat thusly:

• Go to the Wish List where you wish to move items FROM
• Choose any items you wish to move and look at the right had side of its information then click on the "Move/Copy" button
• A new page is brought up, it shows your items without details and a check box on the left side
• Look at the top of the page-choose "Move items" (you may also choose copy or delete) and select the name of the Wish List you want the items in from the drop down list
• Check all the items on only that page of the list that you wish to move
• WARNING Don't go beyond that first page with your checking! When you reach the bottom of the page go back to the top and click on "Save All Changes"
• Now you should see that your items are no longer on the list and items from later pages have been brought forward. Repeate the above process until you have moved all the desired items.
• If you reach at point where the first page is full of items you wish to remain in the current list go to the second page and repeate the process

If, like me, you have never taken time to explore all the options Amazon offers for management of your account have a look. They are really trying to help you keep track of all your wishes. This is a great feature for those of us who rebuy items or are setting up a major purchase of books for a history or literature curriculum. Or just want to remember our virtual window shopping.
