The NYTimes recently published an article about Fulfillment by Amazon, the team I work with 5 days a week. The program is basically a self-service 3rd party fulfillment solution that provides picking, packing and shipping of your orders. Overall, it was a good article with some minor glitches. It labeled FBA an Amazon Web Service. FBA has web services related to it, but its usually not considered to be just an Amazon Web Service like S3 or EC2, since there are many interfaces to it (one of which are web services).
If any of my adoring readers would like to know more about FBA or try it out, let me know. I can give you the lowdown and help you along. There are some seller forums for FBA now too.
Sounds like a great spot @ Amazon for you to be, Mr. Zine Distro. Let me know if you ever make it out to NYC.
Years ago I considered attempting to start something like this for small time publishers / labels / bands / producers. Having a company the scale of Amazon do it is pretty sweet.
