While the problem with Netflix (see link) was in fact a non-problem, there is indeed an issue with older Apps for the iPad One.
As I was configuring the iPad One i discovered that the latest App for iBooks and Kindle for iPad do not work with it. I spoke extensively with Apple and Amazon staff. (Amazon does have an amazing telephone customer response capability and I spoke with 3 people though without positive result.)
I'll go back over the issue. If you delete an account on an iPad One -- in order to say to give it or sell it -- to establish a new one, the new user should get the Apps from the iTunes Store since the App is linked to a particular account, even if it is free software.
But the Apps for iBooks and Kindle for iPad which will work for an iPad One are not available. Period. You can find work-arounds if you have the old Apps on your desktop system or from a friend, but if you cannot, tough luck. That is what I experienced and confirmed by Apple and Amazon staff.
That means that (in my particular case), I cannot read books which I purchased at iBookstore and Amazon.
I will continue to check with Apple and Amazon, and again to the chief execs. If anyone can offer any assistance to help solve the problem, please contact me.
Otherwise, unless I learn some new information, both Amazon and Apple have denied me the ability to read books which I already bought, it sounds like a class action for some enterprising lawyer wanting to make money..
And btw, who knows what other Apps from other companies are no longer possible to be sued on my iPad One.
