Better choice than a lot of the VPN services out there. The free services should be presumed to have some sort of ulterior motive to get a look at your traffic (including, potentially, much more nefarious ones than a firesheep user). Even premium services should be considered carefully, you have little way of knowing what amount of tracking or inspection of your packets is going on - and such concentrators make an excellent target for hackers.

Do you think Amazon has root access to anything you virtualize on their cloud?

Yeah, obviously AWS has access to your traffic and host data if they choose to inspect it, but I wasn't trying to suggest it was a perfect secrecy situation (nor that thats needed). I'm inclined to trust amzn here over most providers, they have a bigger reputation to protect than most VPN hosts, and their scale and focus makes provider level intrusion or consumer focused tracking less likely.
