Craig, thanks for the clarification of what you were trying to accomplish. I
have a question.

You said, "there is a dedicated email address to which to send comments and
questions about the Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin." I understood
your message below to say that you were told there was not such an address.
My understanding, and let me know if I am incorrect, is that the
accessibility link we can click on does not necessarily take you to links
for accessible product help. It is just a page that is easier to use than
their normal page. Yes? No?

Thanks for the help.

Neal

iOS App

Neal, the phone option is one I have exercised from time to time, and
often--but not always--I have received solid help.  The intent of my inquiry
was not to determine whether I could get someone to help me quikckly but
rather to determine if there was a special email address to which to direct
questions about accessibility.  In other words, I was wondering if Amazon
maintains a special department or sub-department to answer questions about
the usability of the iOS app by people with special needs.  Interestingly
enough, there is a dedicated email address to which to send comments and
questions about the Kindle for PC with Accessibility Plugin software.
