Yes, Amazon is very good with pre-orders or back orders. They don't charge you until they ship. As a matter of fact I pre-ordered Windows 7 at Amazon a few months ago, and they charged and shipped on release day (Oct 22). I only know because I got an email that the charge didn't go though. I had ordered this before my stolen credit card number was canceled.
I'm not sure if this is a law in the US or part of the Credit Card merchant agreement, but most stores do not actually charge you before shipment.
Not sure how the auth hold works on a debit card, but on a credit card it's not worry.
