Re: Attention All iPad Voice Over Users: A Call to Action to Restore Amazon Kindle Book Purchasing Accessibility

[Penny Reeder]

I called Amazon's disability support phone line when i tried and was denied permission to purchase a kindle book from the Amazon.com shopping  app on my Iphone, last Saturday. The support person with whom i spoke told me she had reported the problem and it should be resolved the next day. After i made the call, i discovered a work-around, and i didn't follow up further. Here is how i was able to add the book to my kindle library. I asked the A-Lady to buy the kindle book, being sure to name the title and author, accurately. The transaction was completed, and the book arrived in my Kindle library almost instantly. I hope this works for you. But, of course, register your complaint about the shopping app denying permission to purchase a kindle book, as well.

Please do the following to increase the likelihood that this issue will be resolved ASAP: 1. Please call 888-283-1678. 2. Select option 1. 3. When the Amazon rep answers your call, verify your account with them.  This is extremely important.  If the rep does not require you to verify your account, before proceeding, the call will not be logged into the Amazon support system. 4. Once your account has been verified, give the rep the following ticket number: V1442232677 and tell them that you are calling to verify that you are experiencing the same problem on your iPad. Depending upon the wait time, this call should take less than 10 minutes of your time.  The more calls, the faster the problem will be resolved. Now, to reproduce the VoiceOver iPad Safari Kindle book purchasing bug, do the following: 1. With Voice Over enabled on your iPad, open Safari and go to Amazon.com 2. If you have not already done so, sign into your Amazon account from within Safari. 3. In the Amazon search field type in any book title, for example, Shutter Island.  Locate the title of the book and activates it’s title to open it’s details page which should give you the option of downloading a sample of the book, listening to a preview of the title, and provide purchasing options, etc.  Make certain that you open the Kindle version of the title and not the Audible version.  Assuming that you open the correct page, you will discover that virtually none of the content is VoiceOver accessible. Please be aware that Amazon support has already verified this bug but strongly recommends that anyone who can reproduce the bug should call in to let them know. Thank you all for your support on this one.
