In addition to being the second letter in the Greek alphabet, the word
"beta" is also often used to describe a project or process that is being
tested. With that in mind, we'd like to introduce you to our new Gourmet Food
Store, currently in beta. We are continually adding products--from feta cheese
and prosciutto to jelly beans and macadamia nut oil--to expand our selection,
which already includes hundreds of brands and tens of thousands of products.
During this beta phase we'll be testing different features and gathering input
from customers like you to ensure Amazon.com provides the best possible
experience for online gourmet-food shopping. Even though this store is in beta,
everything works, so feel free to search, browse, and buy your favorite foods.
But be sure to come back often, as we'll only be making it better.
