Amazon Light

Amazon Light: "Amazon Light v2.0 makes extensive use of dynamic HTML to fetch information from Amazon.com's catalog and return it to this page, redrawing only the relevant areas. What does this mean? Speed - by only fetching a small amount of script (text), and only repainting a small part of the screen, Amazon Light v2.0 is speedy. It also means context - and loads of it. If you are searching for a good book for instance, you can quickly find yourself looking at the details of a specific book in the center area - while it is surrounded by related / similar / contextual links and information. You can see your current and recent search results, Amazon.com Listmania lists (themed lists compiled by Amazon.com customers), your history, or clickstream in real time, and a tree-format listing of sibling categories and subcategories."
