Yeah, I was able to get it installed using immed actually.  I just found the
accessible object which needed to be activated and did DoDefaultAction on
it.  But once it is installed, I just don't see any MSAA event information
coming through, nor do I see any accessible objects to work with either.

The UIA to MSAA bridge makes the Adobe AIR installer scriptable. In fact,
Window-Eyes would just read it out of the box were we more open to who we
support MSAA in. I don't know about the rest of the Amazon program. I do see
that there's very little keyboard support to begin with, even without a
screen reader involved.
