For those of you who have shopped at
www.amazon.com
before, you know that this site offers a wide array of popular products, including music, videos, and books (including print textbooks at discounted price). However, regular Amazon visitors probably also know that Amazon.com's main site is getting more and more cluttered with navigational links, advertisements, and "customer ratings". Sometimes one is so bombarded with reviews and offers for "similar items" that it is difficult to find the "add to shopping cart button" for a particular item.

    This problem, thankfully, has been solved. Simply go to
www.amazon.com/access
and you will be presented with a much-simplified page that has just the "search" box and a few links to various product categories (books, music, etc.) When you conduct a search on the accessible page, you will see only the search results, minus all the other mumbo-jumbo. And, believe it or not, when you click on a product, you only see information about that product!

    I know it sounds too good to be true, but please do check it out. Happy shopping!
