Hi Laura Thanks very much for your suggestion of Borders. They do have a very good range at reasonable prices.
After arranging for a refund from Fishpond, I did a search and some ebooks came up on itunes, as well as Borders. Both have a good range and prices. Is their a difference in the type of ebook format between them or are they the same in terms of downloading to the ipad?
