Subject: [nvda] Change on Amazon makes
buying options less, possibly inaccessible with screenreaders while on product
page
Up through yesterday, I had no trouble buying
Kindle books through Amazon. Things were labeled, and easily findable. Today
the area of the page where the buying options are seems to have
changed.
There is now a new heading called "Buying
Options." It's the first heading on the page. The interesting thing about this
heading is that there is no number associated with it. Instead of saying
"heading level 1," as the heading below it says, all is says is
"heading."
I think the buy and read now links, along with
the price that used to be readily visible are now hidden inside the new
"heading" area. Arrowing down once leads to the "add to list"
checkbox.
This has been confirmed both in Firefox 64 and
Chrome 64 using Windows 7 64-bit and NVDA 2018.2.1.
If anyone else can confirm, and can have any idea
on how to deal with this, that would be appreciated.
Here's an example. For the US, this book is free
at least today, hence why I chose it, so trying to buy it won't cost anybody
any money. And, yes, the page is the same whether a book is free or
not:
