1. elinks is not a text based browser.
2. the access site is supposed to allow simple usage, low graphics which
might include a text browser.
3. why does your usage, your key strokes, and your steps apply to me at
all?
What makes your steps apply to anyone besides you, and what does that have
to the millions of people who are not you?

Admittedly, I have no clue why the Amazon log-in page would show up as

idea why you're being hit with captcha.
I window shop on Amazon pretty much daily, place at least one order a
month from them, yet I can count on one hand the number of times I've
run into the monstrosity known as Captcha dealing with their website.
As an experiment, I just cleared all my Amazon-related cookies and
tried logging in again.
1. I opened Amazon from my bookmarks.
2. It used ctrl+F and typed in Welcome to find the link to the
simplified home page.
3. The resulting page had little more than a link to the sign-in page
and the top navigation.
4. I followed the sign in link, my e-mail address and password were
prefilled with focus on the text box Orca identifies as e-mail or
mobile phone number.
5. I tabbed a couple times to the submit button, no captcha, log-in
succeeded on the first attempt.
6. Got that in-between view when I went to my cart, but a browser
restart later and it was like I never cleared my cookies.
Maybe I just got lucky, and maybe there are accessibility issues I
missed because Orca isn't limited to what's litterally on the screen,
and why you keep getting hit with captcha when I didn't is certainly a
good question. I've never tried accessing Amazon from a text browser,
but I have come across other sites that work really well with Firefox
and Orca that don't work so well with the text mode browsers I've
tried, and I can't entirely rule out that it's just because I've been
using Firefox longer.
Granted, I could totally get behind a legal ban on Captcha, though
perhaps the question here isn't how to get around captcha but how to
prevent Amazon from hitting you with captcha.
