I guess I would say that I consider it to be common knowledge. I've never seen anyone on Mobile Read announce that their Amazon link is an AMAZON AFFILIATE link, and I don't think them any less moral for it.

I wouldn't point out that an Amazon Affiliate link makes me money any more than I would feel the need to point out that a Google Adsense ad makes me money. I mean, I'd be afraid that Captain Obvious would bean me on the head.
