This new access page for audible came out of their failed attempt to roll 
out some new, spiffy pages, which were incredibly screen reader 
unfriendly.  They were phasing in the new pages, so not everyone saw them 
at the same time, but some blind users were suddenly finding the page to 
be very hostile.  So, then audible pushed out the new accessible pages. 
I'm not typically a fan of the separate but equal page policy, but it 
seemed that the new pages were pretty unmanageable.  So this is an OK 
solution for the near term.  Hopefully, they will sort out the issues on 
their new pages and they will become less screen reader hostile.
