I had the same issue until I discovered there were plugins for Chrome[1] and Firefox[2] that will automatically redirect you to smile.amazon.com anytime you are on amazon.com. I have seen issues with the Firefox one when you aren't actually logged in to Amazon at the time, but the Chrome one works great.

Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of that extension. I've only generated $14.12 in the multiple years I've used smile (inconsistently). It'll be interesting to see how much that changes in the next year.

Plugins make my skin crawl, especially one from Amazon :) uBO is the only add-on I make an exception for.

FWIW, neither linked plugin is from Amazon.

I guess saying "especially from Amazon" was pointless because, now that you've pointed that out, I definitely don't feel any better about them :)
