If it is slightly off topic then don't post it. Sounds quite basic to me. David Ferrin A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Amazon has failed to update the Kindle for PC program so that it does not work with with any Windows operating system version after Windows 7 for screen readers. The regular Kindle for PC versions I found to not work. I spoke with their tech support a few weeks ago and they took a trouble report and I've heard nothing. I am not aware of any work arounds for this and as a result I had to drop out of a book discussion group I was going to participate in as I didn't have time to scan the book and it wasn't available from any other sources. While there were drawbacks to Kindle for PC it was usable. thanks.

Some of our searches work on ResearchIt with Amazon, some do not. We are also in direct contact with people at Amazon that should be able to help work through the questions if they turn out to be on their side. Thanks for your patience on this one. We're also working on getting a solution for Sports Scores...

Using latest JAWS and IE 11. Have deleted cookies. Haven't used amazon.com/access either. A long time ago, I did click on the link that was supposed to provide information about their screen reader changes. That was nothing but talking about amazon.com/access. Wonder if that permanently "marked Me" as a screen reader user, and, by default, locked me into amazon.com/access? Don't think so, because I can still go to amazon.com. Using windows 7 on a two year old Dell laptop. Can the FS folks not get in touch with the amazon folks to explain the difficulty? Surely FS can delve into the guts of the web design.
