Mary, on the PC, the web site is usable with FireFox. As you stated, you do have to do lots of mouse cursor routing and refreshing of the screen, but it does work and allows you to at least setup your various accounts like Pnadora and iHeart radio along with some other preferences. I totally agree with you. Their attention to accessibility in both the web site and especially the app leaves a lot to be desired.

The easiest solution, which worked for me, was to find a reset button on the bottom of the device. I never would have found it without some sided help. But once I knew where it was, I was able to activate it with a paperclip. And then I got my echo set up. I must say, however, that accessing the echo app on both the phone and the iPad is quite frustrating. I think someone said that they thought the iPad app was more accessible.in order to scroll, you must turn voiceover off, then scroll with one finger, the way sighted folks do. The checkboxes you used to customize the news briefing do not work with voiceover. Even on the Mac, setting up the echo is not fun, because it requires lots of mouse routing and the refresh of the app is not always evident. Amazon does not deserve good grades for their excess ability of this experience, whether on and I device or the Mac. Can't speak for the PC, because my PC is so old that it won't even access the proper site.
