Were you "playing" with an iPad at an Apple Store? I think the stores have set the iPads up so visitors can't download things. at least, that is what I was told. They said they were hit with a lot of charges because people were downloading apps in the store.

I've followed the larger discussion with some amusement as I've done the majority of purchasing in the Kindle store using the browser rather than the now defunct in-app button, which simply took you to your browser. In fact, I tend to use my desktop iMac rather than the iPad when I'm looking for books. But I have used Safari on the iPad as well, it isn't a problem. For Amazon, if you have more than one registered device, you have an option of which device to send the e-book. I also have the Nook and Kobo apps on the iPad and have downloaded some books, but Amazon remains , for now, my preferred app.
