I'll second this. I review books on my blog[1] and set it up so that visitors can choose whether or not to follow the referral link or a non-referral link.

About 2/3rds of people follow the referral link.

Out of the several thousand pageviews and several hundred clickthroughs, I've accrued a grand total of about $60.

Unless you have thousands of clickthroughs, or you spruik products with high impulse value, Amazon referral links are not very lucrative.
