Amazon's new site design: what's different?

Amazon redesign
Change is in the air. Just last week we reported that eBay is updating its 1990s style design. Now it looks like Amazon is getting ready to give its online store a bit of a nip and tuck as well.

Don't expect any drastic changes. Most of the updates are cosmetic. For example, you can choose categories to search and browser through a navigation panel on the left side of any screen.
