So most other websites require you to make at least 2 clicks to circumvent this patent.
Whoa... that's subterranean.

Has anybody followed up by patenting "Buy in 2-clicks" yet? "3-clicks"? "Buy whilst facing Mecca?"

I, too, have had no problems buying from Amazon in the past. However, even Amazon doesn't carry everything... and not everything Amazon sells is top quality (I've got some dogs from them, too, that I've duly returned for refunds. Some things just should not be bought sight-unseen). So there are limits to their omnipotence.
