Correct.  It is a noble idea, but I doubt it would be worth the trouble 
in the end.  Even if it were members buying the books, the affiliate 
revenue from Powell's would count as external income that is capped at 
15%.  I suggest you get your own affiliate account and keep the money or 
donate it to some worthy cause.
