I just bought the Shopnotes DVD Library and I put it in the laptop and LOVE it. Most of the time I use an Android tablet and was wondering if anyone knows if theres a way to get that dvd library on to the tablet? You can't hook an external dvd player up to the tablet the last I new. Any help would be appreciated.

Are they just PDFs on the DVD?

As far as I know it just pdf. When I open it on the laptop it comes as pdf.

Connect the tablet via USB, turn on mass storage, and copy the PDFs to the tablet?

Can you e-mail the file to yourself?

I wish I knew a lot more about tablets... It is one of those things that is always advertised or displayed with glitz instead of solid information.

If you want... you can send me the DVD and I will happily experiment transferring all the files to my android tablet. When I discover how to do it, I will send your DVD back with full instructions.
Of course I am kidding! Unless...

I was able to save it to my laptop and then I installed it on to the micro sdcard. All the books come up into My Library but I cant search them like I can on the laptop and I cant sort them from 1 to 126 which is fine as long as they are on there and I can view them.
They show up in order like this:
No. 9 No. 8
No. 13 No.72
No. 25 No.26
No. 44 No. 38
ect...
Instead of:
No. 1 No. 2
No. 3 No. 4
No. 5 No. 6
No. 7 No. 8
Thats ok I'm happy to just have them on there and they look alot better on the tablet vs the laptop.
I'm very happy with the way Shopnotes made this dvd. It's just like having the books but it's in digital form. I'm comparing it to the 41 years (I think it was 41 years lol) of the Mother Earth News cd that I bought thats just way to confusing to use
.
Thanks for the help!

Glad you got it to load! I'll bet there's a way to make a sort and search work too if you have time to keep digging.
Can you tell me how many gigabytes the whole Shopnotes package is? I'm not sure if I have enough space left on my ipad but now that I know they give you pdf files I'm interested.

My wife often suggests that I go buy myself something to put under the Christmas tree. A Shopnotes DVD just might be what shows up there this year.
