Comment (by 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.
I hope this change addresses @swissspidy and @jorbin's concerns 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.
