You can find people here on the forums that will change AMZ to BTC.

I have been doing so myself if you are interested.  I take about a 10-15% discount (the exact amount varies since I usually just choose a round number, the last sale was about 12% I think, but I keep it close to 10%).  If the mtgox last is 100, I would offer you 0.9BTC per 100 of amazon you had.

PM if interested.

Thanks for the feedback.  I guess my concern with such a transaction is that there doesn't seem to be a way to safely make the trade.  Whoever sends their half of the trade could potentially lose their funds, unless of course there was a bitcoin "item" for sale on the amazon.com website.  I would probably only be interested in making a very small purchase, say $5.00 USD in amazon certificates just to get comfortable with the process first.
