To respond to Rose's comment about partially sighted people, I am someone who is losing my vision and I can tell you that it is no pleasure to navigate these sites with the vision I have left. Most people that I know who are partially sighted try to use whatever vision they have and it really is not that much help to magnify the print, even many times. My complaint is that most sites are not organized well so that it can be difficult to find the information you need to make the purchase and when you call customer service, often I end up in tears. So basically, as someone who is partially sighted, I have the options to get sighted help which is something I try not to do, give up on the purchase or spend a lot of time navigating the site yourself or on the phone with customer service. That is why I gave up my audible subscription and now only get books from bard or book share which I have found are sites that I can navigate without assistance. My suggestion to Mr. Mosen would be to put the information and a link to pre order his book at the very beginning of his site so that Partially sighted people don't need to navigate to the consulting store tab to order the book. Making things as easily findable as possible for the partially sighted community would be a help, especially for those of us who did not grow up with assistive technology and have to learn it as adults.

I thought I had an account, but it does not work and I suppose maybe I could use the one my husband had, might work if only I knew the password for it but someone night get suspicious since he is no longer on my bank account. Kind of difficult for him to use his account since he passed in May. Good thing I guess since he can’t spend on more junk. I will always maintain that if a CAPTCHA is of necessity then there needs to be a solid reasonable way for someone who can’t read it to be able to use an alternative that isn’t difficult to use. I don’t care what browser is used, it should have an alternative. There are lots of elderly persons out there on the internet that can’t see enough to read those things, what do they do whether they use magnification software, screen readers or large monitors. Isn’t this what accessibility is all about, access for everyone? Don’t get me started, I have one very difficult time getting Google’s audible to work, it was so fuzzy it took weeks before I finally got a code I could type in fast enough not to generate another one and it was more dumb luck than skill that finally got me in. My late husband had trouble reading it also and give up on it long before I did. They left me no way to communicate the difficulty. Great search engine, no customer support that I know of, no way to let them know one can’t understand the audible they provide. I mostly use it for this account and my searches, have no real interest in trying other features that may make me encounter that process again. I should not have to have a specific browser, one I don’t personally trust all that much, and a specific plug-in, a plug-in, yes but it should work with any browser. I should not have to figure out how to get the image to some site that no longer works, and if websites wish to keep doing this they should be paying for solutions, not me. It is my right to have access,. OK, I am off the soapbox for now. It is a hot button for me, has from its conception and implementation. I understand security but it needs to work for every person not just those who can see the graphic and manage to get it in fast enough for it to be accepted.

For one-off payments, sometimes a credit card is a preferred option.

Load of other things to do related to family issues, or more relevant to the lack of a family member. I had someone else to help last year, albeit from a hospital bed. Same on PayPal something isn’t right there and no clues, except last night it told me it did not like my city, well I have lived here for 39 years, it isn’t going anywhere. Sorry, frustrated because something that should easy and inexpensive to get isn’t working for me. Enough said, for now.

Last year, I wrote a book called "iOS 7 Without the Eye". The response was just incredible and many thousands of people bought it. I got great feedback, and people have been asking me if I will write one for iOS 8. I'm pleased to say that I've done that, and pre-orders are now available for "iOS 8 Without the Eye". It will be released on the day Apple releases iOS 8, but you can secure your copy today so you can be sure you'll get it on release day. Much more detail about what's in the book, and that all important add to cart button, can be found here. http://mosen.org/index.php/mosen-consulting-ebook-ios-8-without-the-eye/ Thanks to those of you who have been so supportive of my work.
