I don't know about Amazon and CDNow, but I know that a number of sites do it by using a Java applet (which convinces the cusotmer that they are getting some secure wizardry - if you can't blind them with science...) and some sites do it open. Actually I have no real fear of sending my credit card number on an open email - there are far more serious security risks around, like leaving an ink-on-paper signature with my credit card details in a pub.
