Hi Laura I went to the app store and found the Borders and Kindle apps, but as I clicked to install on my ipad, a box appeared wanting me to select 3 different questions and answers for security reasons!!
Is this now normal for downloading any apps from the app store as I havnt seen it before? For me, I can see problems with just remembering 3 different answers 12 months from now!!
