Recipe eBooks?

justlukeyo

Hi,

Does anyone use recipes ebooks for example on their Kindle? Are they any good and do they work out cheaper than buying books?

There's possibly a way of getting those recipes onto your kindle.

Would it be easy enough for an old duffer like me get them on my tablet and if so would you kindly show how, in easy steps PLEASE

A free way is to use your library or order what you want for 70 pence

Another way is to use adobe x reader and overdrive and use free library ebooks.

The only problem when cooking is that your screen will keep going to sleep and this is frustrating if you are trying to read a recipe. I have the same problem when trying to read free knitting patterns.

I much prefer looking things up on bbc website and hand copying them into a book

there's quite a few books at low price, like Hamlyns 200 recipes at £1.49 if you are interested

You could also collate your online recipes using something like springpad, but it wouldn't be on kindle though, unless you have a tablet version with a browser.

If you go into the food and drink section of the kindle books, you can look at the top 100 free books and see if any of them look any good.
