Rough Guides offer a free ebook version as a .epub file which I've downloaded. I want to open this and print out a couple of dozen pages rather than lugging a massive book around Germany with me. Previously I think I've used an online site to convert epub to a pdf file. This time I've tried that, but the formatting is…

Wix alternatives for websites?
I have run a website on Wix for a number of years now but their hosting is costing me a lot. Now they want £201 for the next two years and this is killing my pocket!

Samsung tablet for running Netflix?
Doesn't have to be new. I've had decent experiences buying from Music Magpie before with phones, although I've always chosen the 'pristine' condition, never anything less.

Thoughts on Humax Aura PVR?
We have an older Humax Freeview recorder that is starting to be unreliable. The Humax Aura is a possible replacement, but I see several user reviews on both John Lewis and Amazon that say it is best avoided.
