[gui-talk] amazon and system access

[Joel Deutsch]

Albert,

If that URL is the way to directly load the alternative Amazon site, the 
simplified one they developed mostly for users of hand held devices,I 
wouldn't consider that an adequate substitution for the normal Amazon site. 
It doesn't just have a simplified home page with fewer global navigation 
links and arrays of services, all of which seems handy enough to a screen 
reader user. Unfortunately, it also isn't really an accurate, up to date 
equivalent of the main Amazon site, and in the case of certain attributes, 
it's a complete washout that costs the hopeful user money spent for nothing.

I refer to the fact that, last time I checked, the "access" version of the 
site still didn't show notices of free super saver shipping eligibility for 
items that were eligible if you'd found them on the main site; that 
deficiency alone is enough to deter me from dabbling with that URL. Also, 
unless something's changed lately, it doesn't offer the one-click ordering 
option, either. This is not a full service Amazon site, and the customer who 
opts to use it is shopping Amazon in an inferior way that may cause them 
needless frustration and extra money, as well.

IMHO, etc.

Try typing /access after Amazon

Hi,
When I go to www.amazon.com using system access to go, it takes forever for
the page to load, like more than five minutes or so and I'm on a fast 100
plus k bps connection. Is this a bug in system access and internet
explorer7? I wish system access would work with firefox that way this would
not happen.
