Great points about the searchability and content. And they have a ton of content, mostly in the form of terrible movies. Instantwatcher lists, for Prime, 5,438 matches for TV shows and 33,655 movies. Why do I use Instantwatcher to find content? Because, as you state, the searchability and signal-to-noise ratio on the site is crap. The layout and interface are crap.
Amazon isn't the only culprit, both Netflix and Hulu do the annoying box with image scrolly interface (I assume for TV users). If you're on a computer, it's pretty intolerable.
