You can very easily configure JAWS to ignore flash on web pages.

To do this while on the web page, press insert plus v, and then press the letter f until you hear flash movies on. to disable JAWS notice of them, press your space bar. If you're a frequent visitor to Amazon you can set it up so it ignores them every time you visit the site, in the personalized web settings. Again, with flash movies turrned off, i had absolutely no problems with Amazon.

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem, but amazon.com is no longer accessible with Jaws. They have some sort of flash movie when you log on to the site. It makes it virtually impossible to search and find anything. Is anyone else having this problem? I am thinking of starting a petition to enact some change. They have changed their page many times over the last few years. Unfortunately, not for the better!. Please e-mail me off list if you are interested in my proposal for the petition. at
