I buy electronics after much looking around and researching and even trying out hands on. Did the affiliates have anything to do with any part of that process? Maybe, I don't keep track of who is affiliates on all the sites I visit. If they did have some part of the decision then which ones? And where I buy the device depends on my searches of all the sites I buy at and who has the best price, and whether or not someone in town has it in stock at a comparable price that I can have in my hands immediately. Unless I am given a link for a GREAT price, then the affiliate really isn't part of the final purchase.
And no, I didn't buy my tablet or Kindle because of all the freebies. I also go to Amazon and search particular authors and books for myself, I don't just get freebies, most aren't worth my time.
