Bloggers at WordPress.com with their own books on Amazon can use a plain HTML affiliate link code from Amazon and then used that to link an image (book cover or Buy at Amazon button). See here https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/ and note “Custom URL” to link to your book’s cover.
Affiliate marketing banners and any and all advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com are not allowed. No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.

2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

WordPress used to do this automatically, you only had to put in an Amazon link and it would display the cover and link properly. Now I only see the bare URL.
