New Amazon.com Design

To my surprise, I was greeted with a new Amazon.com design this morning. Apparently, Amazon is pushing the new design out very slowly. I have only been able to get to the new design in Firefox, and not all computers with Firefox get it. You don’t have to be signed in to see it.

Here it is:

New Amazon.com Design

The tabs are gone! Tabs were a great idea when Amazon was smaller. Since expanding to allow for a wide array of products and now the new DRM-free MP3 store, Amazon has overgrown the tabs–they were overwhelming. The new design is like a breath of fresh air, and hopefully it will prove useful and usable.
