Hello Kelly, 

Yeah I have to agree with you on some web sites. I have used Amazon and it
can be a pain. I was on the Dell site the other day and I never did find the
page which gave the break down of what is on each model. It's Save 30
percent on, click here:)

Hi Cindy,
Yes, the find works very well with screen readers--it's one of my favorite
commands to use. But it isn't so useful when you don't know exactly what
you're looking for and you're just trying to browse through a list of books
to see what's available. There are ways to set the pages up that would allow
us to move by title through the list of books, and that would be a big time
saver. The one thing that is really hard for blind computer users is that
one can't really skim a web-page. If you know what you're looking for you
can use find, and there are other ways to move around pages, but sometimes
there's nothing for it but to read the page straight through until you find
what you're looking for. Some of the most irritating pages because of their
clutter are Amazon and E-bay. Both of these sites are accessible and work
pretty well, but getting through all the junk to what you want can be a real
pain. Of course, I realize that sighted people also have to fight with
cluttered pages.
Kellie
