Amazon will never complain about linking to them. And there is NO
reason to EVER ask anyone permission to link to them.
Amazon does have an "affiliate plan" whereby if someone comes from
your link and buys you get a small percentage of the sale. Emphasis
on it being a small percentage. You have to set this up in advance though.
Many other web retailers do the same thing.
