Release Date Alerts

We've just added "Release Date" alerts. You now have the option to receive an alert on the date an item is released, not just when it is available to purchase.

For example, suppose you do a search under "Books" for the author Dan Brown. Right now, you'll probably come across "The Lost Symbol", his new book, due out in the Fall.

You can purchase it now if you want (Amazon won't charge you until they ship it). Suppose though, you just want to be reminded about it when it comes out? Just select the book to set up alerts, and under "Availability changes", check the box beside "Is released".

We'll send you a reminder on the day it comes out.

You can also click on the icon to add it to your calendar.

Also, if you receive an alert from us that lists an item that will be released in the future, there will now be an additional link "Remind me when released", allowing you to set up a release date alert directly from your email.

Let us know what you think. There's a "Feedback" link at the top of virtually every page on Zlert.
