Yes. Rumor has it that they've made it more tablet friendly with a new layout in preparation for the release of their amazon/kindle tablet. Don't remember where I read that. May have been here on the boards, but it has changed.

Correct, Amazon is in the process of redesigning their web-site and are making it available to some customers. So the roll-out will be slow. I still have the old design.

I haven't really noticed any change, but then again, I haven't really looked for changes.

Same here. I got the new one last week on my laptop, but the old one still shows on my iPad.

It's something everyone with a web page has to think about now.

I'm still seeing the old webpage, but will be interested to see what the new one looks like. Someone grab a screenshot.

Thanks for that DreamWeaver! It looks like a pretty subtle makeover, but I'm guessing it will be easier to render on tablets.  |

Mind does look different too, but I actually cannot tell what is different, but I know something is different--like deja vous

I have had it for about a week or so. One of the things that I really like is that the search field is bigger. On the main page, if one just puts the cursor on the search bar and clicks, a menu drops down for the free song of the day, free app of the day and deal of the day. The menu under "Your Amazon" also seems easier to navigate. One of the menu items is "Your Cloud Drive" which gives one a nicely organized page with folders for documents, music, pictures and video. There are also separate menu item under "Your Amazon" for one click (or touch) access to the cloud player, video library, etc. I really like the new design and it makes me even more eager for the new tablet. |

I logged on here to see what people were saying after just getting it for the first time. I don't like it at all. It's super personalized and truth be told my browsing history is close to irrelevant to me. It's definitely not how I want to see the page presented and it doesn't lead me to what I'm trying to find. It reminds me of one of my favorite recent books, The Filter Bubble, about everything you miss because of personalized search results.
I wish somebody would post a screen capture of the "old" home page. Just like when they tear down a building and I can't recall what was there, I can't remember what the home page looked like.

I posted the image of Amazon's new home page earlier. That was viewed using Firefox. I wish somebody would post a screen capture of the "old" home page. Just like when they tear down a building and I can't recall what was there, I can't remember what the home page looked like.
I still get Amazon's previous home page when I use Internet Explorer, so here's a screenshot of that:  Personally, I prefer the previous design, but that may be because I'm not used to the style of the new one yet. The new graphics seem rather "blah" to me and I prefer the older navigation style. |

Strangely enough I have both.  I have had the new format on my desktop for quite a while using the Chrome browser on Vista. However, my laptop which uses the Chrome browser on Windows 7 still displays the old site. So I really get to compare going back and forth and definitely prefer the new format. |

I had the new version earlier today, but it changed back to the old version. Same computer, same browser. Strange...

Thanks for posting that Dreamweaver. It's the menu on the left in the old version that's the big loss for me. It's not nearly so user friendly to navigate now.

I like the old design better... It has more colors, with the goldish and the orange... The new one has too much white...
