Thank you pdurrant for your reply. I think, I am ok with the understanding of the term affiliate link.
What I want to do is: I want to write a short book giving some good piece of information in my niche area. I will put the links to my other books available for sales. This I do not consider as affiliate link. This sort of linking is accepted in smashwords.
Other than such links, I shall also want to refer some books at amazon, for which I would like to use the affiliate links generated. So that, if some one makes a purchase, I get the commission. Hope I am making it clear.
One way of distributing such mini e-books, I know is, through personal blog. Some other sites, I came across, where free books could be distributed, require the books to be uploaded in some place and ask for a direct download link.
I would like to know where my free book could be hosted free (it would have some links to amazon products) without breaking the terms of any site. I learn scribd is sometimes removing the documents with affiliate links. I need to get a direct download link without going through any other pages.
I hope I could use google doc or docstoc (I wanted to confirm this. Could I store my documents with affiliate links there?). If not there, where could I host my ebook free and get a direct download link?
Also I would like to know the sites that would help me in distributing my free e-book. I was going through the editorial policy of free-ebooks(dot)net. They want the e-book to be more than 20 pages to be accepted for non-fiction and more than 50 pages to display it in 'quick-reads' category. I want to make short e-books free. So, I would like to know the site that would create a lot of downloads for my free e-book.
