Perhaps better titled "Getting Started with the Idea of AWS", this book does an excellent job in presenting the breadth of Amazon Web Services to someone already fluent in contemporary computing concepts. Gave me a pretty solid idea about the core tools that AWS provides for architecting a secure and scalable web service. It took me just a few hours to read through this book/whitepaper carefully. It's written in an upbeat tone and meticulously proofread, so I found it great to read. And you can't beat the $0.00 price tag!
Now I'm all ready to get my hands dirty by applying for the free tier of AWS and working through the tutorials...

Good book for the basics
This is a good book which lists out whatever Amazon AWS has to offer. It's a birds eye view of everything that there is. From here one can go to any section he or she needs to read more.

Great Overview
Just enough information so you can target your learning preferences as you dive into what AWS has to offer and how they work in conjunction.

Because Amazon is forcing to choose a rating before readin it . And I cannot rate a book low unless I read the book myself.

Good start great overview.
I think this is a great overview for people who are getting to know AWS offerings, of particular relevance would be architects both Solutions and Enterprise.
