Amazon has a new feature for their associates - building a mini store, called an aStore. It takes a few minutes to setup your store, add categories and products and design it (colors, mainly).

You can then embed it in your own web site, or have Amazon ‘host’ your store. They are trying to promote this new feature, so they give you extra bonus on sales generated through your store.

It’s an interesting concept. I have implemented an aStore in OLED-Info - check it out. It sells products with OLED displays (MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras, etc.) and books.
