You could mention the use of affiliate links in the footer, just in case someone gets snarky.

  What do you think about having two links side-by-side (affiliate and non-affiliate)? Or having a global swith to turn on/off affiliated links?

    Yeah, just mention the affiliate links at the bottom of the page and have a little link "Click here to remove" and have it run some javascript to change the links.

      Man, would anyone really go this far out of their way to make sure another person doesn't benefit?

    Just put in the affiliate code. You are already advertising for Amazon, so you might as well get the commission.

  I had the mistaken impression it was against Amazon TOS to call attention to the links. After reading the TOS again, though, I think that would be ok from Amazon's perspective. There's a line between saying on the page "click these links so I'll make money" and saying the links are Amazon affiliate. Amazon TOS here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/help/operating/participation/ https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/help/oper... Nice page, though. You should make money from it. How are you extracting the references to books from HN?

    Thanks for your feedback! I use HNSearch API https://www.hnsearch.com/api https://www.hnsearch.com/api to get submissions and comments. And then Amazon API to normalize and get meta info.
