I realise they must constantly work on this, and perhaps the "Mac-like" interface made me notice, but the latest Amazon recommendations seem to be particularly accurate. I wonder if they've updated something singificant in the algorithms they use? For the record, I had: On the top bar- new novels from Gibson, Powers and Richard Ford (I will probably buy the first two of those eventualy, but have no idea who Richar Ford is). In the rotating centre - books and CDs I have considered for some time and/or closely related items. I tend to buy books after looking at the reviews many times, so these are all solid recommendations. In the lower bar - more speculative stuff (a book on placebos and something by Chomsky I won't buy, and a CD by Quasimoto, who I don't recognise. Scrolling down, there are recommendations and favourites, a bunch of which look interesting (no idea Primitive Radio Gods or Radio Zumbido had other albums). Andrew
