He also discusses how Amazon's use of buttons appeals to its user. As a designer myself, I know how challenging it can be to plan a design and follow it through. Garrett has addressed what variations work and gives his thoughts and feelings about how user-friendly Amazon's buttons really are. Overall, this is a great read. It would be nice if a follow up article was included to look at other well-know companies online.
