Amazon links : best way to remunerate Ubuntu

Hello,

Sorry, this mail could be a little "off-topic" but I did not know where 
asking it - not a bug, so not in Launchpad...

I have a question regarding Amazon results in Dash : it interests me a 
lot, as I buy often on Amazon websites, and I agree to help Canonical 
through this.

OK, if I make a search and click on the Amazon suggestion in Dash, then 
buy it, I guess Ubuntu gets a small fee (%) on the payment.

But what to do if I have many articles to buy (several books, DVD 
etc...). I do the first search in the Dash and click from it in order 
the referral given to Amazon is well the Ubuntu one, then add the 
article to my command, login to my Amazon account and :

- make the following searches directly on Amazon site, add every article 
I want and then pay the total command ?

- or go with the Dash again for every search and click from it, add each 
article to the basket and only pay when all articles are checked ?

- or is it the same (both work for Ubuntu) ?

Thanks in advance. Best regards,

Xavier
