Expenses always credit the asset or liability account (reducing the balance of 
the asset account and increasing that of the liability) and debit the expense 
account that balances it. In GnuCash debits are positive and credits are 
negative numbers, so you need to negate the amount from Amazon and not the one 
from the bank.

Use Amount in both cases. That covers the contingency that the account is in a 
different currency; if it isn’t then amount and value are the same.
