Amazon Lite 2.0 beta

helps get you to book, cd's, or other listings easily and quickly and then provides a clean and uncluttered entry page for each item. Since the beginning of this year, Alan Taylor, Amazon Light's creator, has been developing a beta version of Amazon Lite 2.0.

Version 2.0 offers you the chance to search books, music, dvd's, and nine other categories of merchandise. It also offers you a chance to browse by categories (left column). The rest of the main page is made up of a search box (upper left), a 'list' box, (upper right column) where you'll find the items you've selected for possible purchase, a “history box”, listing queries from your current visit and a "recent search" box that offers a "mini-copy" of your search results once you click on an item. Entry pages for books, cd's, dvd's, and other products, are clean and uncluttered. An entry page for a book contains title, author, ISBN, image of the book cover, related items, and a couple of customer reviews (if available).
