(Preferably the one by Textual Fury would be best.) Look up a few books you know to see how easy it is to search for it (many affected books are now much harder to find through the Amazon search engine unless you use EXACTLY the right combination of search parameters--for example, you might need to specifically indicate you're looking for a book whereas before you didn't need to). Then look near the bottom of the entry for that book to see if it still has a sales ranking or not.

Facebook group (for GLBT, disability, and feminist angles of the situation) at http://www.facebook.com/wall.php?id=70927484220. You also can post titles in the disability discussion thread.

Also consider twittering whatever book titles you find, with the hash tags #amazonfail #stilldelisted and #disability
