[nfb-talk] Amazon

[Wm. Ritchhart]

Folks,

During this past year, I have purchased several items from amazon.com.
I would say that actually making the purchase has been fairly easy.
However, I have found that searching for specific items on the amazon
site is much more difficult.  I have generally avoided frustration by
searching at my AT&T yahoo home page, and then clicking the search
result that takes me to amazon.com.  

Where is the above going?  I am curious if any other totally blind folks
have made searches and purchases on amazon.com?  How did it work for
you?  Do you have problems sorting the wheat from chaff?  Mainly I am
just curious.  One year ago I was able to purchase stuff without sighted
assistance.  But it wasn't the most blind user site I shopped on.  The
amazon site has improved in many ways during the past year and I am
interested to see if others are using it successfully.
