I believe they still wait for $5 mark for conversion fees, but I honestly don't know about the other. I'd think they'd loose money too on $1 books. But then again it's amazon, and maybe the just roll all the charges together with some special deal with credit card companies.

I guess I was wrong they do charge PER conversion now.
