Amazon gives people (bloggers, organizations, etc) money back when they refer people to the site. So say I want the blog Dear Author to get a percentage back on everything I buy at Amazon, I shop through their affiliate link. They get a percentage of all the items I buy, not just books.
If you have followed an afilliate link to Amazon, all of the subsequent pages you look at Amazon will still be "tagged" with the affiliate link. Unless you know which parts to take out, the easiest way to ensure you have no affiliate tags in a link is to manually bring up the plain amazon address (amazon . com without the spaces) and search for the book in question. Just ensure there is nothing after the .com/ part when you first access their site.
