# Amazon light

By Roy Osherove July 29, 2003 In [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 29, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Oh goodie! Looks like my days of browsing Amazon, opening multiple pages at a time, clicking back and forward like crazy are gone, thanks to this cool site: [Amazon Light](http://www.kokogiak.com/amazon2/) which allows me to do exactly that, only from within one page, including search history, bookmarks and shortcuts.

Most importantly, it does all this magic using nothing but Amazon's web services down below. Very cool!

Thanks to [Ziv Caspi](http://radio.weblogs.com/0106548/) for the link.
