If you're going to link to something (which is a reasonable thing to do), you have to pick one and exclude the rest. So regardless of who he links to, you could make the same argument you're making (Why this over that? Is he being paid to promote?).
As for the idea of supporting large corporations vs. local stores, it's a complicated economic argument. I don't really know enough to say which is better for the society, but I'll just note that Amazon seems to be a very customer-centric company, and their size and talent lets them innovate in ways that small stores can't, thus benefiting the customer.

- coldtea 13y agoYes, but apparently being a tax avoider, union hostile, horrible sweat-shop like employeer and privacy hostile company is not as bad as having a CEO that, in his private life, backed a compaign people don't agree with, to cause the same kind of outrage.
