Hi All,

I just noticed that Audible has a stripped down version of its site for 
screen reader users. The address is

www.audible.com/access

I was afraid it would be too stripped down, but it has links for 
shopping cart, wish list, library, signing in and out, book categories, 
and things like new releases and coming soon. It's missing extras like 
the handful of books being promoted and your search history, which are 
nice but not vital.

I'm assuming it's a work in progress because, when I ran a search or 
activated a link, the new page was part of the standard Audible site.

Oddly, I never thought I would want a more accessible Audible because 
the regular version, though cluttered, has helpful headings and 
graphics, which make working with it easy. My only complaints with the 
regular site are that it's extremely slow with a screen reader and that 
the browser, especially Firefox, tends to crash. The stripped down site, 
such as it is, is so responsive, however, that I'm hoping the Audible 
web team keeps working on it so that links and searches open equally 
stripped down pages.

Just spreading the word.

Ciao
