2) There MAY be a limit on the total number that Amazon can sell, which means their allotment MIGHT run out if too many digital units are sold.

To avoid issue #1, I'm buying mine in 10-unit purchases (10 clicks) and then wait about 1/2 hour before buying another 10-unit purchase (another 10 clicks).
I've just now bought 10.

I have an Amazon card and they really, really don't care how many purchases you make at Amazon at a time. Rather than see 35 sales on my credit card statement, though, I just grabbed a gift card (via email) first, applied it within a minute of ordering, then one-clicked my way thru the entire list.
For other stores, I've found gift cards invaluable, as they cards end up locked after so many pre-authorizations (which some use even for free purchases) or a lot of <$1 purchases that happen quickly (as the harlequin buyers are finding).
