Totally agree.
It is nice to have more find at links showing, although I'm also worried about making the other editions box less prominent.It'll be interesting to hear if the new layout has made any differences in purchasing!
The box has returned. :-(My customized book links do not appear in the box. Shows, Amazon, Borders, Fantastic Fiction and WorldCat...I doubt the box would be so annoying if it included my choices, though.
The box is gone, (thank you!) but my personal settings on which businesses I prefer to purchase from reverted back to links I didn't choose or use. That's okay, I know I can click on more options and get to the businesses I prefer that way. :-(
Thanks again for removing the big box!
Thank you for fixing the way it displays! Now, my selection is accurately represented inside the box. Thank you!
I don't care for the box where it is now. Wonder why my selected list of retailers from my profile don't show up in #2, #3 choice? I realize Amazon has to be first--I have it dead last on my selected list in my profile and would remove it altogether if that was an option--but Barnes and Noble is my top choice and instead I get Borders and another one that's not even on my shopping radar.
Por Que? :-)
I'm with the others. I liked it better with the shopping links below the book and the More Editions box at eye level/even with the rest of the book data.
Makes it really hard to see the other editions box when it's below the shopping link AND a big ad block - I have to scroll down to even see it.
Please put it back.

I agree there. Now it just looks like an ad so I ignore it, where before the shopping options were right there with the book information. That made them more likely to be noticed to my mind. If I'm looking at book information then I'm looking there in that box, not over at the right.
I don't really mind the Amazon box where it is, but I would REALLY like the "other editions" box to at least be above the ad. It really will be hard for new users to find it now. To be honest, I don't even want to go scrolling down to look for it!

I don't like these changes either. Really don't like them. It was nice having the amazon and other links just below the description. I would rather have the "other editions" section at eye level with the rest of the book data. The new Amazon box that has displaced it is so awkward. =(
I agree with Fiona on this. People didn't always notice the "other editions" box before the change. I think this will make it next to impossible (to notice) unless you're specifically looking for it.
What was wrong with where it was before? It was small, discreet and I actually did use it. Now it's big and ugly and in the way. I like the other editions box where it was. Now that's below the amazon box thing and an advertisement.
I guess it's just something to get used to again, changes are always shockingly awful to begin with... but it seemed so much more neat and tidy before.
Sorry for moaning.
