Thanks Christina. I would be making the jump to prime for the shipping speed, and looked at the videos as a bonus as I canceled my Netflix due to zero described video content. Figured Amazon didn't have any described video as none of the streaming services offer DV, guess they figure blind people don't watch movies. I view the movie streaming as a bonus, but did want to make sure I could access it. Thanks On Dec 29, 2013, at 2:58 PM, Christina C. <blindmaclo...@gmail.com> wrote:
