Here's something I just figured out. I am in the habit of using BibDesk as an organizer / file manager for all of my scholarly reading these days, and I have some books on Kindle for the Mac that I wanted to be able to launch from BibDesk.
Kindle books are stored in ~/Documents/My Kindle Content but the filenames are meaningless. So the solution I found was 1) navigate to ~/Documents/My Kindle Content 2) open a .azw file - this will launch Kindle for Mac and open the book so you can see which book it is 3) (in the Finder) make an alias for the .azw file you just opened, with a recognizable name 4) add the alias to the appropriate BibDesk record. This will work - allowing launching of the Kindle book from within BibDesk - even if Autofile is on. I didn't try it, but I assume that if one just Autofiled the .azw files, Kindle for Mac would have problems since they'd no longer be in the expected location. It's a bit of a pain at first, if you have a lot of books, but unless Amazon makes book titles visible through Applescript (fat chance!) I don't see a way it could be automated. --Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
