> I don't get what you mean by "buy it directly". You don't want the book and you don't want to be buying things for yourself using illegitimate money.

I took it to mean buying the gift cards from Amazon/physical store, rather than going through ebay.

I missed the context of the parent comment. In that case you would be using stolen CCs or something like that to buy the gift card codes. Then you'd use the gift card balance to buy the "book" from Amazon with proceeds going to an account you control. The charge-back will go to the gift card seller if the $5-50 transaction is noticed at all.
