Well, two pages not working right is hardly a reason to not use a browser.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's something you have to change in your settings, like enabling encryption, since Amazon's secure server is encrypted. Your security settings may not be set right or something. I just checked my own U.S.-based Amazon account, and I got in fine. Could be there's a big difference in the UK version, but I dunno. I wouldn't push away the program before figuring out if it's on your end first, though, and anyway, problems with secure sites only keeps you away from one part of surfing, not all of it.
