BookSparker vs Booklinker
Booklinker is a dependable free link tool for authors who sell wide, with a store choice page for Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and Barnes & Noble. BookSparker is the better fit if most of your readers buy on Amazon: your own Associates tag goes on every click, so qualifying commissions go to you instead of the link service.
