Bithues.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and its related sites.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on this site.

What this means in practice

When you click an Amazon link on Bithues and make a purchase, Amazon pays us a small referral fee — typically between 1% and 5% of the purchase price, depending on the product category. This is a standard arrangement used by thousands of review and recommendation sites.

You do not pay more when you buy something through our links. The price is identical whether you arrive through our site or go directly to Amazon.

Editorial independence

Our editorial content is not influenced by our affiliate relationships. We review and recommend books based on our honest assessment of their value to readers — not based on how much we might earn from linking to them.

The books we recommend are the books we would recommend with no affiliate program at all. If we wouldn't tell a friend to read a book, we won't link to it — regardless of whether it carries an affiliate commission.

A book appearing on Bithues means one of our editors read it, formed an opinion, and decided it was worth your time. The fact that we earn a small commission if you buy it through our link is a consequence of that editorial recommendation, not a cause of it.

Which pages include Amazon links

Most pages on Bithues include at least one Amazon link. This includes:

How we choose which edition to link

When multiple editions of a book are available (hardcover, paperback, ebook, audiobook), we link to the edition most readers purchase, or the one that offers the best reading experience for that particular book. We note format differences in our reviews where relevant.

Questions?

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how they affect what we recommend, we'd welcome the conversation.
