[nabentre] Amazon's Disability Customer Support

Sat Mar 31 16:23:06 UTC 2018

Good morning again everyone,

	Amazon has a number you can call to report accessibility issues with
their Website and Apps. The number is: (888) 283-1678. I haven't tried the
Kindle Authors form but one can buy books via Amazon's Website and the
Kindle App with no trouble. I personally know several blind persons whose
books are in the Amazon Kindle Library for purchase. We bought several of
them without accessibility issues.

	Justas Mary and I are doing with our network partners those wishing
to use Kindle and iBooks to sell their books need to contact the respective
Disability Support Lines for Amazon and Apple to address accessibility
challenges. All the best for a wonderful Easter.

Peter Donahue

My distributor Smashwords distributes via Ibooks. The form for Amazon Kindle
isn't blind-friendly. The book is planned for next January. I'm
self-publishing and also plan to sell via my website. It's under my Mellissa
Green pen name. I've created my own genre, intergalactic Culinary thriller.
You have to be 16 and up due to content. This is the first of fifteen main
serials in my Yemorans series. Yemora is one of the planet featured, though
the world is called Mercinkira. The first book is called Kaos Reigns a
Whydunnit Serial. It's a bout a gender-shifting child terrorist who want
Intergalactic domination.
There are female pedophiles and fetal abduction and Domestic violence.
There are also recipes and constructed languages. You can even add it to
your Goodreads list. Smashwords also now distributes to Audible.
They just started offering that last week I think. Not sure what I'd do
about braille.APH won't do it, I checked, nor will Hadley. I know there's a
service in Michigan, but my family and I have sinced moved to Greensboro. I
can mention it to the people in my support group, as I'm now involved in
their mini-adjustment program. It meets twice weekly and will end his
April.Someone in one of my other online groups had mentioned there should be
a Braille on Demand service like Print on Demand. My guess is I couldn't
sell braille coppies via my website.
I've also been in contact with Bookshare they're just awaiting the copy.
