Nice idea. Needs work at the more zoomed in levels. I looked at hiking boots, and saw a bunch of little pictures of boots, but having to mouse over each of them to find anything out about them is inconvenient. It should probably automatically display more information (sort of like what you would see in a brick and mortar store), even if that means fewer items could fit on a screen. Maybe you could have the most popular items at one zoom level and show more if the user zooms in more.
Also, I would probably try to include more information
It's also seriously buggy at this point, with half of the items "not available" and lots of prices in the pictures not matching prices in the mousever. Is this an Amazon ECS problem? I toyed with an application using it a few years ago and found that it was buggy as hell, giving info that didn't match their actual website, among other problems. I was wondering at the time whether it wouldn't be better just to scrape their HTML and not bother with their API.
