Tablet for recipes

Does anyone here use a tablet for cookbooks,magazines,to read the recipe on. At the stove???

If so, what do you have.Ipad,Kindle Fire etc...

Barbara,
I have an old kindle for books.
I do not know if I would recommend reading from one for recipes, just because of the chance the screen would get some grungies on it or the keyboard would get stuff dropped on it.
I think Norm or Jimmy does have one in their kitchen.
I just find it easier to print up the recipe from my computer and hang it in the kitchen while I am working on it.
I feel it is easier to replace a sheet of paper rather than an entire notebook or computer...
Just my opinion .... lol!

I have all my recipes on my computer and when I want one, I just print it.

I think Norm had an older computer screen he used in his kitchen....seem to remember a pic of it covered with plastic wrap....but maybe I'm just imagining that.

My Kindle shuts down to black screen if I don't touch it every once in a while, I'm sure that's something that can be adjusted ~ I just don't know how.

I prefer printing out my recipes, also. Then I make notes on them and add the notes to my computer files later.

well I am not using my printer at all. It is the second one I have bought.Nothing but PIA issues.If I do not use for awhile the ink needs to be replaced & that is expensive.It will not print with more then one sheet of paper in the tray.i have to stand there & feed one sheet at a time.Then it gets a wild hair & dumps 10 print out at once, if I leave paper in the tray...Then some times it just will not do anything...So I unpluged it & do not use...Hate the stupid thing..

I print them if the recipes are not familiar to me, or sometime script down the ingredients only for reminder, and they all look dirty and greasy, so imagine if I use my tab or cellphone or laptop

Charlie did put a computer in the kitchen and covered the screen and keyboard with plastic but we took it out recently. No one used it much.  I print out a recipe i am going to use from my computer upstairs.  I have a Brother printer that uses cartridges for each color so I can just get one color at a time as it runs out and I don't have to get a whole three color cartridge when one color runs out.  The printer really isn't very expensive and also is a copier and fax machine all in one.

I swear after I moved it to the rear dining room on a little table....the darn thing prints when it wants to, and when she prints....it spits out 14 copies. All when we are just sitting late at night, and all of a sudden... Ekkk Ekkk Ek Ek Ek Errr Errr...there she goes...printing till we hit the cancel or like Tina...she pulls the plug. It only cost 39.99 on sale at wally world. I don't like the ink cartridges. One has the three colors together, and there is one for black.


I have the evil twin..Except mine was not $40.

First pc I bought was a Gateway POS>.....Came with a printer.Man all new to me & I printed everything in sight.Till the ink ran out. Then $$$$$$$$$$$$ to replace . Then the thing never worked right after that..

This other POS I bought a couple years ago.Canon all in one.Costco .Couple hundred..Devil possessed..It will when it wants to scan something & that is iffy..I just gave up,I know when to fold um..lol.I do not miss it one bit either.

I am going to get a Tablet,just have to make up my mine ,which one..

Bought a Kindle Fire HD this morning.I almost bought the Samsung Nook  new at Barnes & N.Then read the reviews.Thumbs down on it. Plus it was $40 more & the books on Kindle store are WAY cheaper. I downloaded a bunch of free cookbooks on my old Kindle.

Barbara, Good for you with the kindle Fire.
I did not know you had an old kindle..I have and old one. Works good enough for me. I have a laptop also.

The printer I have is an HP..
I got it for free as a promo when I bought the MacBook Pro, earlier this year.
The ink is very expensive, but I can replace just the color cartridge I need. I have been picking up the ink when it is on sale at BJ's, Costco, and Staples.
It is an all in one meaning a copier, scanner, and fax machine.

I had to ask my neighbor, who is a computer geek to help me set it up. It is wireless and my laptop is wireless also.
It has been so convenient being able to fax from home instead of having to run to Staples, and a lot cheaper also.
I faxed only a few things a year, but lately I have been using it constantly.
I have stocked up on paper also--again sales. A lot of back to school sales. I use the documented fax receipt papers as note paper, after cutting off the telephone number.

I have the Ipad I. I have a recipe software that I use to view my recipes. I have the Ipad set so it won't ever go dark. I have a software on my laptop and the companion app on the Ipad. They sinc with each other so new recipes are added to the Ipad. The software to my laptop is expensive but I am happy with it. I am sure you can find something similar. I forgot, you bought a Kindle. There must be something available for it for recipes. I keep my Ipad in a silicone frame with a handle. I am always afraid I will drop it so I have the protective frame. I also have a clear plastic film that lays on the screen that protects it from scratches and food smears.

SOOOooooo! Jimmy said,"Ma, I will get it and give it to you!"


I would be calling...Everyday . If someone offered me one lol.

I also have a clear plastic film that lays on the screen that protects it from scratches and food smears.


I will do that too. I know you can set it to stay on. i have my eye on Marthas new cookbook.One Pot Meals. $11.on Kindle.
