As someone who just successfully went through the Amazon interviewing process (new grad, 4 interviews on campus):
1) Relax. Maybe I got lucky, but all of the interviewers I met with were nice and pleasant. They made me feel comfortable.
2) Brush up on the fundamentals of CS. Pretty much all of the questions I was asked built upon standard CS knowledge. If you can pass a standard Algorithms/Data Structures course, the interview will probably be a piece of cake.
3) Think out loud. It helps more than sitting there in silence. As a benefit, the interviewer will most likely help guide you in the right direction.
4) Ask questions!
The interviews were actually a lot of fun! Good luck.
