Okay, here's what I did. I started where it says buy selected books button. i tabbed through the titles and hit the spacebar only (not vo-space) to check the boxes. I was able to simply hit enter/return on the category choice; I wanted to see all books. But since I was then at the bottom of the list i had to use shift-tab to go through the books and then hit space only to check items. Then on the cart page, if you aren't seeing your total and couplon discount, use the item chooser and you will see those things. If you are paying with paypal and it says it needs a billing address to process your order, just keep going and when you are taken back to the website you will be able to complete the purchase with no problem. Admittedly it's a horrible website for accessibility if you don't know what to do, but it is actually quite workable once you figure it out. I was able to use it to purchase nearly $100 worth of books but I justify it by telling myself it would have been close to $200 without the discount. Mouse keys is not necessary at all on the website and since I'm known for using mouse keys often the fact that I passed up an opportunity to employ them means they really aren't needed - grin!
