Harry - Every affiliate MUST disclose their relationship with Amazon. There is required wording from Amazon for every site, plus the disclosures that are required by the FTC. Many put it on every page, some on an "about" page (to avoid violating Adsense rules, which don't allow adsense ads on the page that tells you that Adsense is used).

Personally, in addition to the above, I try to include at least one post that discloses this each year (even then, I'm sure it sounds like begging to some, but it is required disclosure).
