Using Internet Explorer with both Windows 7 and 10, My library presents with
one table, if I navigate to that table, I end up at the start of my list of
books. If I navigate by Form control, I end up at a drop down box that
allows one to deliver the book to whichever of my devices I select. I then
shift+tab once and that puts me on the download link. Audible.com changes
the way the library displays in a lot of odd ways if you change settings. I
have mine set to download in Enhanced mode and I think that quality level is
one of the things that changes the way things display.
I also have some trouble with the boxes to change details like how many
books to display and how far back to go with purchase date. But I am usually
able to eventually get the settings to change. I have noticed that these
things work better and better as I reduce the number of titles to display
per page. I generally set it to the minimum now just to make things as easy
as possible.
A quirk I haven't been able to get past with the library search feature is
when my library includes one or more books in which a particular author has
collaborated with another author. No matter how many books by the author I
am searching are in my library, only the multiple author titles appear in
the search results. Very frustrating. I doubt that this has anything to do
with Window-eyes, but it doesn't seem to happen if someone searches my
library without a screen reader, so I wonder if it is caused by something
that only functions if accessibility software is being used. For me, given
the size of my library, this is the issue with the library that causes me
the most trouble.
I have been considering learning to use NVDA both as a backup and for use
with certain sites that seem to work better with that screen reader. I don't
know about the library, but NVDA still displays the portion of the
publisher's description that pops up when those using the mouse place the
pointer over the right spot on the book's listing in search results. It
could be worth a try to check out the library with NVDA to find out what it
does differently if you already use it or don't mind installing it and
giving it a try.
HTH,

I hadn’t visited the Audible sight for a while. I see that the goons at
Amazon and Audible are at it again. Their new and improved web site is
battered and broken. I just purchased a book but can’t download it. To start
with, the library will only display my books for the last six months no
matter what I choose. Fortunately, this does display the book I want.
However, in order to get download options, I must hover the mouse over the
title or the clip art. How can one do this with Window-Eyes 9.4? Routing the
mouse does not do this. I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro. I wonder why the
goons at Amazon/Audible make things so hard to use with the PC? Sorry for
the rant, but it just gets frustrating.
