Kieran Healy’s Weblog Sociology and other distractions

Amazon Meets Google

Lots of other people are talking about this already, but who cares. It’s too useful not to talk about some more. It’s Amazon Light—- the monster bookstore stripped down to its bare essentials and given a clean, Google-like interface. No more stupid gold boxes! No more busy-busy web pages with a million things happening. Amazon should pay some money to the designers of this thing.

I wonder what elegant hack thinks about it.

Having visited isbn.nu and AddALL.com, I don’t seem to see anything special about Amazon Light that worth talking about.
