I have used this on a project recently to store lots of large files. The code interface to moving files back and forth is actually very simple. Their wrappers and API really make it just a few lines of code.

i have very little experience with it, but I don't think it's too difficult to get things up and running. They've got a pretty straightforward dashboard.
one thing that people may find strange with S3 is the concept of "eventual consistency", due to its distributed nature. this means writes to the system may not be available to everyone at the same time, it takes time to distribute to all potential views.
also check out EBS, which is less flexible than S3 in some ways, less redundant, but cheaper. and it behaves like a single drive.
