Re: FYI: DRM is Evil. Very, Very, Very Evil
I used to use Amazon almost exclusively, but after three years of struggling with their site's constant inaccessibility issues, I quit them and now only turn to them as a last resort.
During those three years, it seemed that everytime they "enhanced" their sites, including the screen reader optimized ones, they were less accessible than they were before.
The last straw came when I tried to place an order with their iPhone app and found that with VoiceOver turned on, it was not possible to complete an order. I had to switch to my PC to complete checkout. Then when I sent them feedback about the problem, I was told, "You'll have to get sighted help." Unacceptable!
Audible is an Amazon company, and they charge too much for their books. I get more books than I can read from BARD and Book Share, BARD is free, and Book Share is $50 per year. Much cheaper than Audible's $15 per month, which works out to $180 per year. Most Audible book s show up on BARD within a couple of months after they are released on Audible. For free, I can wait.
For example, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was released on Audible and Book Share the same day the movie opened, one month later, it was on BARD.
