[Blindtlk] handling money

[Michael]

Hi Humberto
I use a debit card all the time for purchasing on amazon.com, newegg.com, 
drugstore.com, and other sites.  May I suggest that when using amazon.com 
there is a much less congested page of the amazon site.  The address is 
amazon.com/access.  This page is amazon but it is stripped down for mobile 
use and is much easier to use and navigate.

The entry of personal data is fairly intuitive and is safe as long as you 
use well known sites.

Michael
