Hello,
As of a recent update to the amazon.ca website, I am no longer able to read the price of products on search results pages. I'm using the NVDA screen reader but I suspect this issue will affect all screen readers.
1. Go to amazon.ca (NOT .COM) and search for anything.
2. Navigate to the first search result and read through the information following the name of the item.
3. Notice the link called "Price, product page". This is--for some reason--a link that has been re-labeled for screen reader users. In doing so, the actual price of the item has been removed.
I now need to open the page for each individual product and find the price there. This adds an unimaginable amount of page loads and time onto the process of shopping for multiple items.
I do not need support; I know how to find the prices of items. This just needs to be fixed.
(It's worth noting that I can actually use object navigation to drill down into the link and find the actual text label with the price. Some moron has just obscured it with an aria- label.)
