Q: I have just purchased an i pad some books I wish to download are not listed in i books; so I downloaded kindle/amazon to widen my choice. If I find what I want who will bill me apple or kindle?
I have just purchase an i pad - very new to using it. I have downloaded a couple of books from the store but wish to widen my choice by linking to amazon kindle. How will I be billed for purchases?Does the payment come out of my apple account or do I have to register with amazon as well to pay? I use gift cards as payment with apple.
iPad, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

If you want to buy ebooks from Amazon then you will need to create an account with Amazon and you will pay directly to Amazon for those purchases - you can't use your iTunes account or iTunes gift cards to purchase from them. Also you will need the Kindle app on your iPad to read Amazon's kindle ebooks - ebooks tend to have digital rights management on them which tie them to the store's own apps and ereaders, so Kindle books can only be read in Kindle apps/ereaders, and ibooks from Apple in the iBooks app.
