If Amazon took bitcoin, and I could use it to pay people on Craigslist, and maybe some other little things like that, I would probably just keep a bitcoin account around with a useable balance. If it got low I'd fill it with USD, and if I needed some funds out of it I'd take some USD out. But I don't think I'd need to do a USD conversion for every single little transaction.
Think about if the NYT decided to charge a half a penny to read an article? There's no way for them to collect that right now (it's too small), but bitcoin would work for that, and I sure wouldn't be converting half a cent USD every time I read an article.
