When hell freezes over, considering they lied their fucking asses off ("We’re not hearing from customers that it’s right for them") in the face of the petition*. A majority of AMZN shares will need to be bought by one of the big bitcoin investors first.

2000 people doesn't make for much. And has this petition been shown to Amazon?

Amazon will accept Bitcoin when Prime members want it.

If you look at all the money Amazon invests in growth it's always targeted to the Prime members who are mostly professionals. These people work 60 hours a week and make enough money that they don't have to shop around for good prices, and would rather have the convenience of going to a single site and getting their order in a couple of days. These people don't have the time or desire to figure out how to use Bitcoin so they won't until it's so easy they don't have to figure it out.

When it's easy to use Bitcoin Amazon will be on-board.

Even though Amazon has stated they have no plans to accept bitcoin, we all know that plans can change. I think that Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is correct when he says that Amazon will ultimately have no choice but to accept bitcoin. The question is: when will they decide to do it? Vote in the above poll!
