Why does iBooks keep asking for apple ID password?

For a few days whenever I start up iBooks on my iPad, it asks me to log in with my Apple ID. I can say 'cancel' and going on reading without problems; I can also give my Apple ID password and everything will behave the same way (I see no difference).

I have seen the discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4475702?answerId=20897580022#20897580022 and I tried to follow what was described there, but it did not worl. I get no warning on 'purchases not yet downloaded'

That thread helped me. I am using the latest (11.1.1) version of iTunes.

Went to Store > View Account

Right at the top of the page, and I mean the top (right around the Account Information title) was a message proclaiming downloads pending download. I clicked it and then the notification went away and so did the message on my iPad.

Bit long winded there but I'm just happy to have that popup gone! Best of luck!
