You need to at least once programmatically "follow" the link-shortened URL in order to discover its destination, as it doesn't necessarily contain any revealing information it its url (such as the ASIN, as you suggested). It's not too difficult, I just haven't had the time to write a caching system yet that would follow the URL and cache the unshortened version for quick future lookups.

There isn't yet. It could be easily added, though I am not sure where exactly. In the top blue nav bar perhaps?
