Hi Trish
It sounds as if the combination of Internet Explorer and JAWS that you are
using cannot deal with the new features on the site. I suspect that even
non-screen reader users with Windows XP machines will also have problems.
Over the last couple of years HTML, the language used to build web sites,
has gone through considerable changes and site developers obviously want to
take advantage of these. Unfortunately, not all the developments are
backwards compatible so older versions of software become obsolete.
Depending on your version of Internet Explorer it may be worthwhile
downloading either NVDA or the trial version of JAWS14. If you are still
running Windows XP then this will probably not make much difference as the
latest Internet Explorer you can run is IE8.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Steve

Steve,
I keep logged in all the time, so it's not that. What screenreader are you
using? I am using Jaws 9. I can put an author in the search box, but then
the only way I can read the titles is to use the Jaws cursor on, in which
case it tells me the titles, but without any links or other information.
Linda advised me earlier this afternoon on the phone to press "Find" once
I've entered a search, and ask to find "Play2" which should work. I haven't
tried that yet.
Trish.

Trish, Pele
Are you logged-in when you try to do your search. If you are not logged-in
then they are trying to make all kinds of suggestions about what you might
or might not want to buy which certainly makes finding the results more
difficult. If you log-in then tings seems to be simpler.
I tend to keep one of my accounts logged-in. It makes life simpler.

Hi Trish
I have just been to the Audible site and it is horrible. I couldn't even get
it to let me do a search, let alone see the results.
I will do a little more investigation.
I have to say that I am not a fan of Audible, I don't know why their books
have to have their own formats and why MP3 players have to be registered to
play them.
