[nabentre] Amazon's Disability Customer Support

Sat Mar 31 17:12:18 UTC 2018

Thanks. I haven't called them yet. Last I checked Kindle wasn't
blind-friendly. I did try emailing them but got no help, they told me
they wouldn't help set up the preorder, they tried o get me to pick
the categories etc. Thanks for the number. When I tried to use the
cloud ap, there were no menus. I do have formating templates for
Kindle from word. I do have the latest version of Jaws.
