What is painful Amazon checkout process? Did you mean painless one-click buy that makes me spend more money on Kindle books than I would want to?

Yeh, if "Buy now with one click" had a breathalizer component I'd be a lot richer right now. But then again, I wouldn't have a USB Nerf cannon...

This comment made my morning. Thank goodness no one was around 'cause I snorted/laughed and nearly spewed coffee onto my keyboard...I guess you had to be there.

You mean the process where I'm logged in, add some items to my cart and when I click checkout get asked to login again, get to the 3rd screen and I'm told they don't ship to my country? Yeah, painless.

You're not logged in, initially - merely recognised. You wouldn't be too pleased if anyone could just walk up and buy stuff for themselves based on a cookie, would you?

The shipping thing is poor though.

You can now filter for international shipping on search results.

That doesn't cover everything though. For example, last I tried Amazon did not ship any storage media to Austria, even if it says "international shipping". But they only give indication of this at the end of the ordering process.
