Re: HAD ENOUGH
I'm usually pretty rubbish at advice but you've accidentally stumbled on one area I have vast knowledge about. As was noted above, President's Choice has them (the little ones, but very good) or the No Frills shop (same company I think) has them on sale this week.Most other supermarkets will have them but the aforementioned ones seem to be the best (proper). I've only found the bigger (longer) ones at gourmet pastry shops.

Re: HAD ENOUGH
In calibre click Fetch News and scroll down to the language group you want e.g. English (UK). Click on that and a list of (currently) 36 options drops down. You then can opt to Schedule for Download or Download Now.
Calibre then processes the latest edition and you see a job running in the bottom right hand corner of the window, click on that for details - you can also type the newspaper of choice in the box.
Say for example you'd like to download the Independent.
You now have two options. Calibre must be open and running in both options.
1. Download now - This downloads the Independent to Calibre's library
or
2. If you want to download The Independent at say 7 a.m. each day you can also adjust the download to whichever time you like. This will also download to Calibre's library.
You can also go online here: https://webtoread.com/ and choose newspapers to download to an e-reader or alternatively via email:
News - United Kingdom
Birmingham post
Metro UK
Telegraph.co.uk
The Daily Mail
The Daily Mirror
The Guardian and The Observer
The Independent
The Observer
The Sun UK

Re: HAD ENOUGH
What would be involved to do that?
I suggested in the other thread quickly training as a support worker if only for something to do and for the earning potential at the end, but if there is already an option there thats even better.

Sending of credentials, UK qualifications and experience to be assessed. Same as for RN except more likely to be accepted especially if not a degree RN.

Re: HAD ENOUGH
It's a downloadable program for your computer. you can download newspapers for free, convert and catagorise books... this is what it says: http://calibre-ebook.com/about
calibre is a free and open source e-book library management application developed by users of e-books for users of e-books. It has a cornucopia of features divided into the following main categories:
Library Management
E-book conversion
Syncing to e-book reader devices
Downloading news from the web and converting it into e-book form
Comprehensive e-book viewer
Content server for online access to your book collection
I have been using it for a while.. I have to admit that newspapers aren't like reading them online or in print, but it's ok.
Have you checked whether the newspaper you want to read is online? You can check here:
