Point 3 is extremely interesting. There is a lot of controversy going on about their sales tax collection[0]. I say that it is interesting because it gives an incentive to the customer to use their virtual money instead of traditional payment methods. Other advantages I see (or that you saw) only benefit Amazon, which only gets mild sympathies from most users. I am not sure this will have such a great impact however, because unless they find a loophole to sell those coins, the first sale would still be subject to any applicable tax.
