Well its quite strange to me that it's possible to patent such things (There's alot more than just 1-click). However imho its not really amazons fault. If they get the patent they can make some money with it if not - well, maybe worth a try. But it IS a mistake to give away such patents. People giving away a patent like this or a patent on software products in general should think twice about the effect it could have and if it is worth a patent at all. Imho in this case it's rather strange that amazon got it and im quite eager to see who's going to win this fight.
