Yes and no. Compared to the other online book stores I've visited, Amazon is magic; I couldn't even find my own books on the Apple store when I went looking for them, whereas until I downloaded a couple of thousand free e-books Amazon's algorithm was very good at recommending books I'd never heard of that I'd like to buy.

And Amazon itself has problems; my Author Central page and book pages seem to change randomly from one day to the next. Even looking at them in two different web browsers at the same time often shows a radically different page. I don't know whether that's intentional or accidental, but it is annoying.
