Can anyone give me a general overview of the rules of the road regarding allowable links and promotions in books, or point me to an online reference?

For example, I think I read somewhere that Apple iBooks doesn't accept epubs that link to "the competition."

I would like to create a blog page for each of my books. I would use the page to publicize the book before and after its publication. The page would also include a variety of information about the book and would allow comments from viewers.

I would like to include a link to this page in each of my books, inviting people who buy the book to visit the page and post a comment or review. Is this something Amazon or other parties would disallow?

What if the page invited people to "buy this book from Amazon, iTunes or RIGHT HERE," allowing them to buy the book directly from me?

Another thing I want to try is creating a book that's more or less the parent of a series and sell it through Amazon, iBooks, etc. In the book, I would then mention forthcoming books in the series, which I may or may not sell through Amazon and other vendors.

I just wanted to get some idea about the rules and how strictly Amazon and others enforce them.

(I thought I posted this question earlier, but I can't find the post; I think this conversation actually crept into a thread on a different topic.)
