- From the Revelation of John the Associate:

RE 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive an ASIN in their right hand, or in their foreheads, or on their box:
RE 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the ASIN, or the URL of the beast, or the IP address of his server.
RE 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of an item; and this number [is] ten digits and starts with a "B", or a digit, and ends in a letter, an X, or a digit.
RE 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and buy from his website, and receive [his] ASIN in his forehead, or in his hand, or a commission in his pocket
RE 14:11 And the smoke of the torment of associates ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image and his reports, and whosoever receiveth the number of his items in their abode.
