The essential beginner's guide to the UK's most popular new tablet

Hudl For Dummies is the indispensible guide to Tesco's highly successful Android tablet. With hands-on instruction tailored to the entry-level user, this book provides expert guidance in clear, concise language to help you get the most out of this great new device. Seasoned technology author Rosie Hattersley walks you through each step, from opening the box to setting up e-mail, accessing Blinkbox, shopping online and more. Even if you're a newcomer to tablet technology, this book will have you up and running in a flash!

By utilizing groundbreaking technology, it's no wonder analysts expect the Hudl to become the UK's leading tablet. While the device itself is intuitive, the Hudl's infinite possibilities can be a bit of a mystery to new users. Hudl For Dummies is the definitive guide to the device, helping you access the full capabilities of your new tablet.

• Gain a complete understanding of how to get up and running with the Tesco Hudl
• Download and launch apps with your new tablet to make it a workhorse or an entertainment system
• Discover how to access the Internet, e-mail, films, music and books
• Shop online with your new device and find out how to buy Hudl accessories

An entire chapter on troubleshooting allows you to bypass the repair shop for minor issues, and gives you the confidence to adjust settings and preferences without the worry of messing something up. Whether you're transitioning to the Hudl from another tablet, or are new to tablets entirely, Hudl For Dummies will take you from a new user to full-fledged Hudl devotee.
