Yesterday I preordered a kindle book on Amazon, using my ipad as usual. I have a kindle and download the books to that, not the ipad usually. The confirmation email,said the book will,automatically downloaded to your kindle upon publication (today). Went to bed yesterday, the wifi was switched off on both the kindle and the ipad. This morning I opened both devices to,find the wifi switched on, the book downloaded to the kindle, and an email telling me it had been downloaded.
I find this quite worrying. Amazon obviously woke up the ipad and the kindle, and it makes we wonder if any,other companies can do this. What are the security implications? It's the first time I've preordered a book, don' think I,will,do,that again.
Book by Phil Rickman BTW, if you like crime involving spooky goings on with the lady CofE exorcist, I can recommend. Great dialogue, interesting and sympathetic characters, and deep multi-layered stories. I'm on book 14!
