You article does not say Amazon gets "an exclusive button on Netscape." I thought that you meant it has a button on the browser. Actually, Amazon gets a position on some of Netscape's web pages (NetCenter and Net Search) and gets a bookmark in default browsers.

They probably paid some figure like $50 million for that privilege and as Netscape continues to lose ground to Microsoft IE it will be worth less and less.
