wifi is connection to the Internet without a wire going into the device you are using. You need to know your Internet servers password. Once you have gone through the instructions to connect the device by entering this at some point that's it.

My Kindle is wifi and 3G. The 3G is a different way of connceting to the devices server so I can download a book where ever I am.

YouTube is a good way of learning how to do things. They often have people demonstrating things. I've found it helpful when I haven't understood instruction manuals.

What's wrong with a real book 

[viv]

I also got a Kindle for Christmas from my son. There is not an instruction manual as such....its all on the Kindle. I have just sort of played around with it and have discovered all sorts. I have to say I think its great.

I did feel like CLKD but after all the library cutbacks I am finding it difficult to get any of the latest books.....so Kindle here I come. Its very different but I like it a lot. I am looking forward to down loading loads of books.

My son bought one for himself for his last year in Uni. His book list was huge and came to around £800. He managed to download all the books he needed for a fraction of that and his bag was not stuffed and so heavy. Its was great for him. I think my OH wants to download some books he cant get from the library.

I think I am a convert.

Hadn't thought of that aspect, i.e. the student needing lots of reading material.

I am selling books at our local market on a Friday, all those we have read over the years.  I buy as many as I can 2nd hand and once read they either get passed on or go for sale.  At least the loft space is cleared now!

As for Googling ............. wonder what 'constant runny nose' would show?

Dusty Book Syndrome perhaps

Our flat isn't large and storing books is a problem so my Kindle is great as I don't have to worry about it. Also less to dust

Jan 1st and I've already googled  Now stressed and worrying. I'm off to the gp on tuesday to discuss my worries (again!)

I'm so fed up with worrying that everything is something awful  It all started 18months ago when I hit peri, will this worrying get better? Does it go away? I'm not depressed, just a mega hypochondriac.

It does get better and we do stop worrying as much.  We go for years without symptoms and then every twinge becomes the possibility of being the biggest problem ever  .

Thanks CLKD

Wondering all afternoon [can hardly be all day as I didn't wake until 9.40  ] what it was you Googled exactly 

[libby1]

Vaginal polyps/skin tags  I went to the gp about them in November but I need reassurance. Why have they suddenly appeared? Is it another meno thing?

How do they treat health anxiety? Don't really want to take anything but I'm fed up with feeling like this. It's not all the time, just every so often.

I think that the best thing for health anxiety is CBT. Why not ask your gp about it - he may be able to refer you. I would have thought that it would be particularly useful if your anxiety isn't constant - better than being on meds permanently.

Hi libby1
I went to doctors earlier this yr. told wasgoing through peri. Noticed lumps at entrance of vagina. Doctor looked and said they were vaginal skin tags. Like you, my anxiety is hell!! But they been getting bigger and more coming. They can really irritate certain times of month. I'm forever feeling them to check which makes them more irritated. I'm gonna see if I can get them removed. But your not alone and I'm glad I have found someone who gets the same as internet says about them on outside but not inside. Have you seen doctor since this post ?

I absolutely agree! Googling makes our fears bigger and creates obsessions! When I diagnosed with early menopause at 41 I was convinced that my life was over.
Googling made me feel in panic and that taking hrt is a very very dangerous decision.
The only benefit was that I found the forum!!!😘
