When did Amazon.com change its interface?

I swear, I just read a message about how horrible it was from the Google employee rant, and then the next day it looks awesome.

It looks the same to me, but I've been on there a lot in the last couple weeks so maybe I've grown used to it already. All I know is that every time I get on there to find books to read I've got to run through a bunch of crap to find what I want. It is actually easier for me to go into Barnes and Noble or Borders and browse books so that I can get on Amazon and get the e-book, because navigating their site becomes less of a chore when you know exactly what you want.

Well... it appears that they are testing it back and forth. I really liked it, but now I am back to the old crappy one.

Ah I think I see it now. It really doesn't look too different to me other than a lack of a sidebar on the left side of the new one. Like I said the look of the site never bothered me at all, it is just that they have too much stuff on there. I can never find new authors I might like because I have to dig through 40 pages or more of new books and just give up. If they wanted to change something they should add in one of those things where you put in an author's name or a book title and it gives you a list of books of a similar type, now that would be really damn handy.
