It's hard to know exactly how many dollars a minute Amazon loses in sales for every moment its site is down, but simple math pegs it at about $1.8 million an hour, based on an Ad Age estimate that it will snare just shy of $4 billion in revenue during the 91 days of the second quarter. Of course, traffic tends to be lighter on weekends, heavier toward the beginning of the week. And it's not like everyone who can't get on Amazon immediately won't come back and buy their books or Kindle later
