Sheesh. This makes what, the fourth or fifth time this year so far.. and for an extended period of time to boot. I wonder if this is linked to how they do their deployments, or something else (Everyone has access to deploy to the live site last I heard).

Every developer does have the ability to deploy to production and roughly 0.001% of deployments cause an outage, but this is a company where the mean time between deployments on an average weekday is 11.6 seconds. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxk8b9rSKOo

If one looks at the intra-day chart of AMZN, you could see the market adjust the pricing of the stock relative to the revenue lost every second due to site down. https://www.google.com/finance?q=amzn&ei=JWwSUuCkE8Lp0QGC5QE ; compare to SPY, the overall market trend.

The interesting thing is that amazon doesn't typically lose orders when the site goes down for a short period, it often just causes people to delay their orders a little.
