Well, Amazon does provide a version of its web site that is "optimized" for
screen readers. But it turns out that this site is actually the mobile
version of Amazon.com designed to work with cell phones, that just happens
to work reasonably well with screen readers. It's not as if Amazon went out
of its way to make its web site blind friendly; it just worked out that way
by coincidence. So technically speaking, Amazon.com is accessible, even
though the screen reader-optimized version leaves a lot to be desired, as
far as I'm concerned. At least JAWS doesn't crash or freeze when accessing
this version of Amazon.com using IE or Firefox.

What I would do in this case, is contact FS tech support about this, and
explain the problem, then I’d contact the world wide web consordium about
this matter, they are in charge of getting these companies to make there
website accessible for blind people like ourselves with screenreaders, and
especially for people with disibilities.
