Now, now...

If there's no bother for the user, I think we should do this. We link to 
amazon anyway, and they offer us money because we do. So, the decision 
is between
* take money that is offered to us for doing something we'd do anyway, or
* throw away the money

That's really one hard choice to make! ;-)
