I sell my CGI books through Amazon, and I've been quite happy with the Advantage program. They clearly use an automated system to determine how many books to order. If demand is constant, orders are (usually) constant too. When they place a small order (for 2 books, say), I just send it via media mail to save on shipping. Larger orders go by UPS. It's worked out well for me.
Of course, after having gone through the hassle of working with "regular" distributors, Amazon's been a dream. They order consistently, they pay a month after the sales are made, and they never return anything! Compare that to Ingram, who would order WAY too many books, return half of them (most of them damaged), and take forever to pay. No thanks, I'll take Amazon any time.
