I hope I'm in the right forum here. Our other half has recently acquired a kindle and I've been loading it with (free) books. I've discovered that you can transfer books directly from Amazon onto the kindle and you don't even have to be on your home computer to do it.
But now I've been thinking. In order to get those books, the kindle must have gone out onto the internet - through our router and its firewall - to download them from Amazon all by itself. What's more, I didn't even have to tell it that books were available. I just switched it on and there they were! Does this constitute a hole in our network security?
