Crowdfunding: Connecting Creators and Patrons

As with a number of other states, Amazon is ending its affiliate program in Illinois due to changes in the tax law (Amazon does not want to collect sales tax).

If you are an author with affiliate links, you can continue to have those links up, but you will no longer receive any money from Amazon.

If you have book links, Barnes and Noble does have an affiliate program, and since they have stores in every state, they will happily collect sales tax. At this point, if you do not have affiliate links but are considering them, I'd say go with Barnes and Noble.
