[edit] I r dumb.[/edit]

Amazon's been working on that redesign for a long time. It always makes me laugh when my clients say they want their UI experience to be "as easy as Amazon" when I sat in on Amazon meetings where they debated how to improve what they considered to be a crappy user experience.

Is that your referral link? That strikes me as a little underhanded to include in this thread topic for some reason.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Don't really see anything that looks different.

I think you said that last time, and the time before that.

We already pointed out not everyone has the changes yet. Try clearing your cache and restarting.

I only remember saying it looked the same once before...

Also, I did clear my cache, and it looks the same to me. *shrug*

Appears to be far more touch friendly than the previous version. Probably for a reason given the rumors of the Android based e-reader they're rumored to be working on, the popularity of the iPad, and Windows 8.

Its also less cluttered, so you dont accidentally thumb click on things.

Personally, with a full computer and mouse I prefer cluttered, I can get anything I want in two clicks.

How the hell do you accidentally "thumb click" on things? Or accidentally click things period?

I have the new interface when I log in at work, but not at home. For a few minutes I was thinking it was some sort of different skin for people who spend $3000+/month there:D

Yep, and I predict their new tablet(s) will be "the" Android tablet(s). Cheap, and a direct portal to Amazon services, products, downloads and streaming content. Looks like no Google apps without rooting though. I do really like Amazon's Android app store, have a ton of free apps from them...

I'm not in the group that got the new changes. Someone post a screenshot.

I wonder when they'll do a 100% rollout.

Not showing it here yet either, but it could definitely use an upgrade.

My biggest frustration? Why do I have to go into an item to add it to my cart? If I search for an artist, for example, and want to buy every album they have why can't I just go down the list of search results and single click add them to my cart without leaving the search results?

Maybe they'll finally give that to me.

I use firefox at work, and the new layout is great on that. Google chrome here at home isn't showing me the new version though.

Its because that's how they push their affiliates and other stuff to you. Its also how they do their "other people that _____ this item also this item" and other things they do. I think a lot of it is statistics that helps them.

The new layout, eh, I'm not seeing much other than a bit of a Web 2.0 gloss change in apperance. Maybe they've done more that I'm not noticing, but not a big difference to me.

Seems that left navigation is a fading trend and now everyone is doing some sort of mega menus. Newegg took this approach it seems like a year ago on their site as well. I know we are busy to doing a home page redesign and this is heavily talked about.
