What would Amazon use in the USA if you bought a book for say $10?

Depends on what type of memebership you have and what shipping plan you select.
For regular members, standard shipping on an order with a book only would use US
Postal Service media mail. Takes 7-14 days. If the book is combined with a
non-media item, they tend to use UPS. Upgraded (extra fee) shipping is offered
for 2 day or overnight service. Those are available from the Postal Service, Fed
Ex and UPS at Amazon's discretion.

Prime Members (pay an annual fee) get 2 day shipping at no extra charge and can
pay a small amount for overnight service.
