My wife also purchased a book by accident. She went to Amazon.com and requested a call back from customer support. It wasn't 10 seconds from when she clicked the "phone" button that her phone rang. Less than five minutes later the accidental purchase was refunded.

We love our Kindles and we love Amazon customer service!

it is quite easy to accidentally purchase a book on the kindle, but three times?

If you don't know what you are doing then yes. I know my Mom bought two books accidentally when she got hers.

Yep, it's in Advil PM and it is the generic name for Benedryl. It's an antihistamine.

Ah, benadryl, I know that one! I did manage to get some in when buying from Amazon and then shipped on to me. So am good for now.

The Kindle is sold at 48% profit, and Amazon makes practically nothing on ebooks. For a while Amazon was even taking a loss on ebooks, charging less than what they paid to the publisher, in order to keep prices from harming Kindle sales. Not sure if this has changed.
Do you have a cite for that? It's inconsistent with *everything* else I've read on this.

Amazon did take a loss on the $9.99 NY Times bestsellers, but everyone seemed to believe that they made it up on the other books that they sold (and of course Amazon, unlike B&Ms, makes most of it's book profit on non-bestsellers).
