 * The button works fine when set to show up below post. But if I use the shortcode
   option to display the button, clicking it has no effect.
 * Any ideas?

 * Can you link me to an example post on your blog using the shortcode? Also, what
   browser are you using?

 * It looks like our JavaScript is trying to initialize before the page has finished
   loading. You can try out the development version, or wait until I tag a 1.0.1
   release later today.

 * [sendtokindle] shortcode does not work in Text widget in my sidebar. This happens
   whether I turn on in Look and Feel Page and Post or turn them off. So currently
   I have them on and appearing before and after Post but I would much prefer having
   Kindle button in the sidebar. Browser is Chrome 25. But same thing in Firefox
   and IE10.

 * When I enter the shortcode [sendtokindle] unto the post I want it displayed on
   it only displays the words. It is not a link that opens.
 * What is the secret to success here? (I only want this on certain pages)
