I got an email from Amazon noting that they have three new offerings for affiliate members. First, their eCommerce offering, called aStore, has come out of beta and is ready for full on users. At the moment I don’t think I have a need to become an Amazon reseller, but it might interest some.

Second, their Omakase product is out. While visiting their page shows that it is still in beta. The Omakase offering is basically a contextual links product, offering naturally Amazon products based on the context of your site. For those that don’t want to go through the hassle of setting up the other link products with specific categories and such (although it isn’t that hard), this is an option.

Their third is Product Previews. I already use this service for the books in my “Books I’ve Read” sidebar widget. If you hover over each book, it gives a preview and price info.

As an extra incentive, they are offering double base for the Omakase and aStore offerings, so if you aren’t currently an affiliate, it might be worth checking out.
