A sort of hypothetical question....

Phoenix books can be downloaded on most gadgets nowadays. Before I got my first Kindle, I would download books on to my laptop, having installed a Kindle app.

I think Hudl is Tesco's version of a Kindle, so you should be good for books and reading!

...providing of course etcetera ...

Our local library service (Cheshire East and West) has now set up an e-book lending scheme. Excellent, although we will still go into our library and borrow real books as well.

phoenix I have a Hudl2 and yes, you can download books although I haven't done so.
I love mine, it's so quick and easy to use.
Fingers crossed

I think most libraries offer book downloads now! Enjoy!!

Or it could be a compact box of woodworking implements?

You can download the Kindle app. to tablets and then buy books through Amazon. You can also borrow library books and magazines. To do this you need to go to your local council library webpage and follow the instructions. You will need to download the apps they use and enter your library card number.

I use the Overdrive app to download library books. However, I still prefer to borrow real books, less costly if I should drop one in the bath, as I once did!
Good luck with your Hudl, hope it is meant for you!

I hope you will post on the 'Is it your birthday?' thread on the day, or let us know the date, so that we can send our good wishes.

Thank you all!

My actual birthday is on Tuesday, but Mr P goes away early on Monday mornings, so for the sake of present opening etc we are pretending that it is tomorrow, if you see what I mean!

I hope you are having a good un-birthday, Phoenix. Was the Hudl for you, and if so, do you like it?

I am having a lovely un-birthday! A Hudl2, rather too much Cava than is good for me and the boys have just ordered a very smart case for the Hudl as a present from them, apparently

After a bit of a kerfuffle I managed to set it up, was having a slight problem with connecting to the wifi, then realised that the password on the router was case sensitive. Have managed to get onto GN with it, had quick read but haven't posted using it yet! Might take a bit of time to work out the smileys.

The only downside is that I now have to iron Mr P's shirts ready for tomorrow, but that's not too bad!

I am a chicken, and still use the desktop site for GN on my Samsung tablet! Good luck!

It's easy least phoenix! Glad you've had a good day!

"Peasy"!!
