If you plan to publish PDFs to the Internet then Scribus is fine that
you can use to place links to Amazon and other websites in addition to
embedding some Javascript in the PDF documents.

However, if you'd like to have your stuff in HTML (generated by a PHP
generated CMS presumably) then I would suggest that you use a CMS
which is PHP5 compliant as php.net is going to drop support for
versions below 5.0 end of this year. I don't think Joomla is
compliant. Further, you need to use a tool that generates clean
HTML/XHTML with appropriate standards-based CSS to increase your
chances of being found in search engine results. I would suggest that
you use DreamWeaver (which generates clean HTML) and either,
preferably, hand-code CSS or use a third-party CSS editor (westciv
people for example). As a last resort, you can use DreamWeaver's own
CSS facilities which are pretty good as well. In that case, I would
suggest that you use DreamWeaver Page Templates to easily enter your
content.
