I saw this on Michael Finney's consumer blog and thought I would pass it on.  It is a new scam involving self published books that make use of Kindle's ability to allow hotlinks within ebooks:

I'm not familiar with other ereaders (except the Nook), so I don't know if any others also have this capability.
