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.

Oh, thank you for the information, library addict. That really helped clear up some of the confusion. Lots of helpful, interesting info, and it sounds fairly easy to avoid making a whoopsie in the future.
Also, I'll definitely be going back to reference your post in case I forget what link parts to delete!
