When I used tab and shift-tab, the checkbox and the title of the book were associated so that I didn't have any problem telling what I was ordering. They were spoken together and as long as I didn't try to use vo-keys but just the space bar, each checkbox was checked though it didn't say "checked" when i pressed the space bar. I was able to fill my cart with 15 items all at once correctly by using this method. I was using the anniversary link that Esther provided but when I saw that this was only one category I went on to "all books" and added more books without losing the checkmarks on the books I had already chosen. Wile tabbing, I don't remember whether I was able to do vokeys-space on "buy selected books" or if I had to just hit enter. But I don't know whether I had any particular setting in safari that made tabbing work for me and the method suggested by others certainly also would work. I don't think the coupon has to be used only for one order.
