It has always seemed freaky to me that Amazon still uses images for paragraphs of text. I have assumed it is because the real-world web is more broken than I know.
- sukilot 12y agoAmazon has an incredibly tightly packed homepage with images and text. that's an obscene challenge to layout without obscuring content or missing up proportions. The inside pages use regular layout and are more liberal
- r00fus 12y agoLuckily for us, their iOS app and mobile browser experience is really nice (only I can't see some comment metadata like up/downvotes). Only time I visit Amazon on a desktop is when I happen to deep-link into a product page from a review site.
