What is the end result of AmazonFail? A search of news articles suggests that it has kinda blown over with the mainstream news outlets buying into "whoops, unintentional error", a few blogs that are all about hating anything corporate still believing it was an act of suppression, and not a whole lot if followup from the anyone else.
Though I haven't purchased anything from them since, I haven't gotten around to findhing a better wishlisting tool, either. While Powell's is good for mail-order books (though I can not be lazy and go to a local place*), Amazon also has stuff that I can't cheaply find in local independent stores. So, should I ever be sufficiently solvent to indulge in thinks like sexy silicon bakeware or artsy bundt pans... where does the liberal internet community stand on Amazon at the moment?
*In the last two months: Green Apple, Logos, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Dark Carnival, DeLauers... I really have to finish what I have before I think about procuring more (heh, well, cookbooks don't count, right?).
