To convert LaTeX to word, use something like http://hyperlatex.sourceforge.net/ to convert it to HTML, and then rename it .doc.

Word should be perfectly happy reading that. And a lot of places that say they only accept Word won't notice the difference. (I don't know about Amazon.)

Actually, a lot of the places that require Word format use a tool which extracts relevant information from the resume to automatically populate their database. For some reason those custom tools don't work with text documents (go figure).
I didn't say it worked with all. But it works with a lot.
