[Edit: This now appears sto have changed and Gift Certificates / Gift Cards are working fine for buyin gKindle books!]

It would appear that he fine print on the Amazon Gift Certificate prevents their use in purchasing any electronically downloadable content including Unbox videos and Kindle e-book items.

Indeed, it normally tries to spend any Gift Certificate money I have whenever I buy something from Amazon, but when buying a Kindle book it skips the GC balance and goes straight for the credit card.

This is really quite annoying. I have a Kindle, a long list of books I'd like to own for it, and $150 in useless Amazon credit received as Christmas gifts.
