Thanks Steve, also looked at it this morning and found it rather fiddly.
Love Mandy X

Hi
In JAWS The pass through key is insert + the 3 key on the top row. However,
you don't need to use it. I am not sure what all the press pass through key
is about but it seems to work if you just press the space bar. You can also
press enter in the normal way. I was expecting something like the split
buttons you have for choosing how to close down the computer but there
doesn't appear to be a menu as such.
The two items involved are Library and Shop Audible. If you press space bar
on the Library you are taken to a page with your wish list and library. They
appear to have removed the choice of format from each item and you can now
set it for all items. They seem to have replaced the ratings with a whole
load of junk for rating various aspects of the book. It takes up a lot of
keystrokes and will become very painful to deal with - suggest using table
navigation to reduce the problem. The ability to search your library has
been given greater emphasis. Personally I hardly ever look at my library
just download the book when I buy it and then forget about it. Most people I
know do the same.
The Shop Audible item takes you to a whole lot of stuff like the offer of
the week, top 50 downloads and other tools to help you find a book. Most of
this has always been available but in different places. It will take some
getting used to but as with the library it seems to be mainly a matter of
re-organising stuff that's always been there and getting used to using it a
bit differently.

Hi,
Just been into Audible using Window-Eyes 8.2 and although it looks a bit
different, I managed to get round it and could still swearch for books.
Some of the links now say, has sub-menu. Press pass through key and then
space bar to activate. Don't know what that is in Jaws, but it's insert B
in Window-Eyes. Looks a bit strange but it's certainly doable.
Cheers,
Sandra.
