Adrian,

I found that was true until yesterday, at which time I could not buy
anything at all, nor could I delete items from the basket.  At least now we
have a solution, and hopefully it will be put right eventually.

The buttons do work if you switch to the text only mode but then it is
impossible to select the free post option if you spend over the required
limit.
I found I had to order via the text site then log back in to the
graphical site to ammend my order to incorporate the free delivery
option.
Very unsatisfactory.

David,

    I contacted Amazon about this problem last month. They assure me
they are working on it.

    The problem comes with the scripting for many of their buttons,
including "Move To Basket", "Save For Later" and others.

    With Jaws at least, it is possible to use a combination of Jaws mode
and some fancy keyboard work/guess work to get the buttons to work, but
it's by no means easy or straightforward like it ought to be.

    I'm planning to follow up in the next few days and I know that
others from different countries have also been in touch with Amazon, so
I'd suggest that adding you're voice might prod them into action.

Cheers,
Tink.
