Gene,
Be specific. I am a frequent shopper at Amazon, and most of their site is
quite accessible.
You need to learn how to get around the clutter; but it works for the most
part quite well.
Since you weren't specific, I wll just put out some general tips:
1. Use navigation shortcuts. In some, but not all listings, the price is
listed in a table. In some instances, many times with third-party sellers,
it may not be. In that case either look for a quantity combobox and you
will see the price in that area or do a search for the Dollar-sign aassuming
you are in the states.
2. I don't use the "accessible site" for some philosophical and logistical
reasons, such as not having a complete description without entering on
another link. I have noticed, when you want to write a review or leave
seller feedback, with Jaws, IE 11 cuts off and does not display the relevant
frame. So, you need to use Firefox to do this task.
3. When you make a purchase, there are buttons und3er shipping options and
payment options where you can change the shipping address, separate
different products to be shipped to different addresses, and choose a
different payment method respectively.
In all, you need a bit of patience, but the site itself is highly
accessible.

Hi everyone!
Does anyone else here shop at amazon.com? I am frequently presented with
accessibility challenges on their main site and often find that their
supposedly screen reader optimized site suffers from the same
accessibility challenges, making it hardly worth bothering with.
I'm asking hoping some people have found ways, or scripts, or other tools
that make amazon.com more accessible.
I complain to them all the time about their accessibility problems and
always get some boiler plate response that they take accessibility of
their site seriously but nothing ever changes, or it just gets worse.
Cheers!
