10/18/2001 "amazon changes its mind"

The Amazon.com: buying info removes it's tabs within tabs... and why oh why didn't I take a screenshot?

, from oldest to newest:

Christina - etal.

I have a screenshot of the tabs within tabs product page posted on my site: http://www.emdezine.com/designwritings/archives/00000053.shtml

Unfortunately, I didn't take one of each tab page or of the whole long page - may have them at home. But it does mean there is a record of the design until they decide to redesign again.

Tabs within tabs are only implemented in the book section. It may not be all of the book section.

I do like the all in one page new check out page. Very nice.

Reel.com has used a tab system for this type of information for a few years now. I think that implementation of the tab metaphor (closely related subsets of information for a single product) is absolutely appropriate.

I'm just trying to figure out why Amazon got rid of the wrong set of tabs.

I'm not sure exactly which tabbed
version of Amazon you refer to,
but some of Amazon's trial baloons
are at:

We don't have to store old versions of sites now there's the Wayback Machine: An archive of the *entire* web!
