The use of the Indian flag in this way is considered offensive to the Indian community and in violation of the Flag code of India. In January 2017, doormat products with the Indian flag on them went on sale on the Amazon Canada website. In 2002, the Canadian Booksellers Association and Indigo Books and Music sought a court ruling that Amazon's partnership with Canada Post represented an attempt to circumvent Canadian law, but the litigation was dropped in 2004.

The launch of Amazon.ca generated controversy in Canada.

On May 12, 2006, the USPTO ordered a re-examination of the '1-Click' patent, based on a request filed by actor Peter Calveley, who cited the prior art of an earlier e-commerce patent and the Digicash electronic cash system. On February 25, 2003, the company was granted a patent titled 'Method and system for conducting a discussion relating to an item on Internet discussion boards'. The protest ended with O'Reilly and Bezos visiting Washington, D.C., to lobby for patent reform. Bezos responded with his own open letter. O'Reilly collected 10,000 signatures with this petition. Industry leaders Tim O'Reilly and Charlie Jackson spoke out against the patent, and O'Reilly published an open letter to Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, protesting the 1-click patent and the affiliate program patent, and petitioning him to 'avoid any attempts to limit the further development of Internet commerce'. On February 22, 2000, the company was granted a patent covering an Internet-based customer referral system, or what is commonly called an 'affiliate program'. The boycott was discontinued in September 2002.
