You will never convince me that handling a database of books is more complex than handling someone's money. The security, accountability, and high availability requirements are entirely different. A bank must also interface with external legacy systems that were developed without the Internet in mind. Amazon is pretty much a standalone operation compared to that. Are you confusing complexity with size?
