Looks like Amazon is launching its own "digital currency". I really with they would have adopted BTC but that's ok. We still have a long road until BTC is mainstream.  http://www.amazon.com/ |

Amazon Coins are not really a crypto currency, they are more like standard amazon vouchers, as they are centrally controlled by amazon. Not a crypto currency by any definition.

Fancy name for an Amazon gift card, just muddies the water for the real coins out there.

And what's the point for buying these amazon coins, while you could not get a discount buying things with them?

They are pretty much just vouchers for Amazon purchases, no innovation there
Likely inspired by Bitcoins though.
