Inaccessibility of Amazon.com

I note that Amazon's homepage is particularly and unnecessarily inaccessible!.

     http://www.amazon.com

There is no alt text, even for the initial images with visual word choice 
boxes.

Their main page has tab order with 155 tabs (according to the WAVE analysis 
view.)

Number 153 gets a Text Only version, with only 133 tabs. With the text-only 
choice, the main content begins at tab 77.

Amazon is missing the opportunity to reach a larger audience. I've just 
sent these comments to them.
