Re: Amazon Books redesign

Using Firefox, it doesn't matter what I set the User Agent too - it displays it without the column and looks different then it does in IE.

I should have linked to the page on my screenshot instead of the Amazon Books page. I don't use UAS, either - so you're saying that UAS doesn't make the Amazon page look like it actually looks in IE.

My original questions stands. I wonder what Amazon is up to.

Yes, that one page is different. The page you linked to in your original post was the same.

Edit: And Opera matches FF. Using the User Agent switcher in FF and setting it to IE, the page still rendered the same (missing left column) in FF.

Click on one of the book titles, though. That's the page format that's different now (see my screenshot). Here's a link for quick reference:

Amazon Firefox
I see the same old layout in all 3 browsers. Screen shot is what I see in Firefox (1.0.2).

Oh, I didn't even check to see if the Inside the Book popup worked on IE - it does work there for me, as well. So are you saying that you see what I see with only one column, or do you see the same old two-column view with smaller images. I don't believe that I'm filtering anything in ffx - this is the first site that I've run across that looks different.

Thanks for your replies.

Again, it's the same for me in both browsers and when I did a search on the book in your last image, both product pages displayed the same and both had the hover pop-up, which I think isn't brand new either.

Do you have some content filtering in your Firefox that might be causing the different results? Any weird User Agent specified if you have the User Agent Switcher extension added? If you have that extension, set it to IE - does it show in FF to match IE or still the same where it looks different?

Amazon Books redesign?
Interesting, I've tried it on another computer with Firefox. I haven't upgraded to 1.0.2 because I've heard that the memory leak issue is even worse on it - but I doubt that has any effect on the way this new Amazon layout looks. FYI, another interesting thing to note - when you hover over the book image, it pops up the Inside This Book tools and search
