This is incorrect. Every time I click the Unity button, the first icon is Amazon. No way to remove it that I can see. Just Launch. Please step me through clicking the top right Unity button to see all apps, then removing Amazon via the UI only.

The default in Ubuntu is to send crash reports: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport

It's a .desktop file just like any other icon in Unity. It's at /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop; right click, delete, just like you would any other .desktop file.
