I highly recommend converting it to an EBS AMI. I have 4 of them that I made. 32 bit, 64 bit, bare bones, yum updated plus dev tools.
Agreed, EBS is much easier to work with if you want a "traditional" VPS type server.
I converted to an EBS AMI via these instructions:

Takes about 10 minutes each.
If you use the command line EC2 tools from Amazon you'll run into a few snags during install, I've documented getting them running on Fedora:

Why aren't there any F14 EBS AMI's available? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Images said some would be available, but that's not happened over the past months.
If it really only takes 10 minutes to do it, why aren't they posted? Is it some sort of license problem?
