Don't worry about the bites. In my experience, the more you worry that a bird will bite you, the more it is likely to do so!
Just be cautious at first and take your time, while at the same time being direct and haivng clear communication.
My senegal came to me as a notorious biter. I got a few things straight with him right off the bat, and he almost never bites me anymore.
The thing about amazon bites is that they tend to hold on and grind. I think that's what gets people the most and turns them off to amazons. My boss calls them 'dam-azons" and doesn't particularly enjoy working with them because their bites can be so bad. But it's a matter of opinion. Personally, I'd rather get bit by a zon than a cockatoo any day!
