Can't get a plugin resembling "Pretty Links" to work

So, when I initially went searching for a link cloaking plugin, I couldn't find "Pretty Links" as suggested. Instead I went with "WP Dynamic Links". It works fine EXCEPT when I attempt to cloak an Amazon link. Everytime I enter an Amazon URL it say's it's in the wrong format. I've tried editing it in several different ways, and it won't accept it. It works fine with every other link I've given it.
As I said, when I search for Pretty Links, the only thing that comes up with those two words in the title is "Pretty Link Lite". The plugin at the top of the page is "Pretty FILE Links". I got a warning that "link lite" had not been tested with my new version of WordPress. The last time the plugin was updated was 5 months ago. I installed it anyway...and when I tried to use it, the whole site froze, then after several minutes of waiting, it gave me an entire page of gobble-ty-gook error messages!
So...where are people getting "Pretty Links" from? And why doesn't Dynamic Links work with Amazon URL's???
