 Replying to [comment:28 jsepia]:
 > We recently added OEmbed support for Amazon URLs. You can embed a sample
 of almost any Kindle book by copying the book's URL from the Amazon.com
 detail page (or Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr, etc) and pasting it into a blog
 post. We've been testing this on WordPress.com for about a week now and
 we're seeing quite a bit of usage.

 > Regarding non-book products (e.g. a toaster), we haven't converged on
 what the right embed experience is for them, or if they should even be
 embeddable to begin with. For the time being, we believe it's better for
 our users if we just leave the URL untouched.

 regarding the usefulness of our oEmbed provider. We will continue to
 improve our service to support more use cases and book formats in the
 future.

 So is the current request to whitelist the Amazon OEmbed so that `almost
 any Kindle book` will embed the live preview of the book, but no non-book
 products will embed from the URL in a consumer's browser address bar?
