I think you're forgetting that Amazon doesn't have a 100% conversion rate...

I'm not. That's why I threw out 10M page views per 100k purchases. Maybe 1% is an overestimate of conversions, but I imagine a 48x multiplier to average traffic is an overestimate of peak traffic, so it balances out. It would be interesting to know the actual peak number of user actions/second though.
