Yes, certainly insofar as Amazon reviews go. Not to mention, the review links to Amazon frequently don't work or allow the review to be written.
Half of the Kindles don't have viable browsers, for one thing. Most people just ignore that or forget it. The outbound links in iOS device readers are deliberately disabled. Putting embedded links into ANYTHING is a bad idea, because those 50% of readers can't get there from here.
Not to mention, using images as a link is a bad idea, because the javascript that launches links also launches image zoom--first. Most people have no idea how to achieve the link, that's inside an image, on a Kindle.
So, other than all that, yeah, it's a wonderful idea. /sarcasm. You might wish to explain to your client that a simple paragraph saying something like "a review at" any of those places (only Amazon matters, FWIW) "would be greatly appreciated" or words to that effect.
Otherwise, you're just bouncing your head against the wall, aligning those, etc. for very little good effect.
