[nfb-talk] Fwd: Amazon press releaseConcerning AccessibilityofWeb Site

[Ray Foret Jr]

I have.  It's just the bare bones and nothing more.  None of the nice extras 
like wish lists and reminders and so on.  I got no response when I 
complained about this back when:
www.amazon.com/access
first came out.

Sincerely yours,
The Constantly Barefooted,
Ray

The clutter is a very good point.  I really need the JAWS hot keys on
Amazon.  It makes me wonder though,  has anybody tried Amazon using the
link they have at the top of the page for screen readers and mobile
devices?  If you have, how is it?

Well, Amazon is probably more and more sluggish because of all the
clutter.
I can use it, but it's difficult.  There's so much to go through to find

what you need.

Not so fast.
Over the course of the past few months, I have noticed that the pages of
the
Amazon site have been opening more and more slowly.  the product pages
are
particularly bad now.  Indeed, they are so slow, it's almost impossible
now
to navigate through them.  This pertains to arrowing, first letter
navigation and the use of hot keys also.  As I say, I have noticed this
over
the course
of the past little while; ever since I bought my new deep fat fryer.  I
am a fairly well seasoned JAWS user, having used it since the advent of
version 4.2 way back in 2002; when I made my very first purchases at
Amazon
on the date of July 22nd 2002.  I was a mere web novice back in  those
days;
and, I can tell you that if Amazon had been as sluggish back then as it
now
is, I'd have been quite disheartened.  To speak candidly, I fail to see
how
Amazon is improving.  That's why I feel it will be interesting to see
how
the site changes over the course of time between now and June 30th.  if
Amazon doesn't get on with it and get it
done, I suspect we'll be playing rather rough.

    Sincerely yours,
The Constantly Barefooted,
Ray

Me either. Amazon is one the most accessible sites on the web.
