There is nearly a decade of precedent for complaint-free use of the amzn.com domain here on HN[0]. The amzn.com link I provided is as much an Amazon link as your expanded version (both domains are owned by Amazon[1]). I choose not to use the official, shortest a.co option (growing in popularity here[2][3]) because it obscures a tiny bit more context (the Amazon Standard Identification Number is usually recognizable as such).
