I have to learn about Amazon's rules first, though; I don't know what they allow in terms of links and promotions.

Quick down and dirty on Amazon. You can promote anywhere you like. You can put your book link on your website. You can link on Facebook, Instagram and anywhere else you choose.
They want the business.
The only ones they care about are the Amazon affiliates that promote others books.
Look if I buy the first book on Amazon and like it, I will go back to Amazon for the rest. If the author has chose not to put the rest there, I will assume he is a one hit wonder and won't waste my time looking. Most Amazon readers are like that. Oh same idea for Kobo and Apple readers.
It appears you have big ambitions but haven't done the research or read about ereaderiq and thought it applied to authors. Ereaderiq is not an author but a promoter of others books. He makes money off linking to Amazon. Amazon was tired of paying the affiliates off of free books. Two other promoters had to change their marketing too. They just advertise less free books than when they started.
Now there are a books you can't sell at Amazon but you don't strike me as that kind of writer. You can't sell a certain type of p0rn there.
So now what other great wisdom do you want to know?
