For your editing issue, I have experienced it too, but a solution, at least for me, is to maximize the window -- press alt-space and x with browse mode off. I have not seem your amazon problems, although it does say internet explorer cannot display the web page at the top, but I think this is some kind of add or something and does not matter. I check out all the time and have browwse mode on most of the time and see all the buttons, etc., agamin maybe the maximize will help there. and sometimes you do need to alt-tab away and back, this is sort of normal, I would not worry too much about it.
