Hello @lainiewarren1955 better yet, you can find the eBook right here at this link - https://sdc-ebook.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/SDC-2023-Discount-book-Original-Final.pdf

Click on this link and download it to your computer. Keep in mind, this is our 2024 eBook and seeing it is October, we are seeing some of the businesses shut down / taken over and renamed. We are working on our 2025 eBook as we speak, and that will be released on the first of January 2025

Have a lovely day!
Maddie.

How do you How to be for a pensioners card I'm 64 is it young or not, Tom from Melbourne is asking.

 

[Kayer02]

I live in Rockhampton & my Seniors card has very little use availability here. Apart from Cinemas & possibly sports club venues.

I'm from Rocky as well and I agree with you Lindy..Though I know there is a small number of businesses that don't advertise the Seniors Discount Card , however if you ask, they do offer a small discount.Average of 5%

Hi this is a wonderful resource thank you to all for the hard work.
Whilst clicking through I noticed a small error in the ANZAC Biscuit method listings. (See attached)
Method 1 belongs to the Barramundi Fish Cakes. (This recipe has all methods correctly listed).

Thank you. I am on an iPad and I don‘t have the above icons so guess I can’t download on an iPad.

I’m also on an iPad but I just clicked on whatever I wanted to look at & there it was, downloaded. Try going through the list above, where titles are in blue, click on the one you want to look at & hopefully it will download. Of course I don’t know what to do with it now that I have it as it’s a lot to print out.

Thanks for the E Books.

 

[henselhd]

Instead of trying to download the whole book why don't you just try and download the state that is relevent to you

 

[WendyW1954]

Hi
I cannot download the ebooks - nothing happens

Same with me

 

[Viellarde]

Hi guys... The eBook is nearly 400 pages so it takes quite a long time to download. Could that be the issue?

I know it's big, that's why I wouldn't even try on my phone.

 

[Olwynn]

Please can you start, a graduated increasingly technical course, or put together an E book about using the internet, search engines,email, and how to do downloads?
Is there a tech that can offer their expertise up to help?
You site is littered with help pleas.
I think your site is amazing already, but was just thinking....

Hi, Any IT books that help us to keep up with IT changes. How to make mini movie clips of family or sports. How to troubleshoot and solve Computer issues. Repairing hardware issues (if we know we won't get ripped off) How to get the most of AI on your IT gadgets. Dummies style is fine.

Thanks, Bernie

 

[Maddison Dwyer]

Hello @It's Bernie that is such a great idea! I'll pitch it to the team and pop it on our to do list. I have no doubt this is something we can help with! Can you think of anything in particular you would like to know about AI? It is more 'how' to use AI and 'what' you can use it for?

[Maddison Dwyer]

Hey @Riverboat we will get in touch! We do not have a partner called Orical hearing aids which has me a little concerned! Do you know the name of the website you purchased your hearing aids from?

 

[Maddison Dwyer]

Hello @Riverboat I just wanted to let you know that we tried to email you this morning, but it looks like we have been blocked! (See screenshot below). Feel free to message me directly on this forum!

Is an E-Book a recording of a book being read? How is an E-book used? Do you plug earphones into a phone or get a cd/tape? I hv not yet succumbed to this "new fangled thing".
I love books. I can go back a page or two if I disremember an earlier, minor character reappearing. I can pick up a book and put it down, read anywhere without electricity, battery or charger. A book is just there for me.
Whereas if expected to just listen, I know I would be doing something else and constantly lose track. Humans notoriously only retain a small percentage (10) of what they hear. However, if reading, we are much more likely to recall information, (20% read, 80% see).
That is why reading a newspaper is more important than digital news - you see it, touch it, turn pages and can recall what page it was on, where positioned in that page, size of article and any colour or picture accompanying. I find now, without constantly reading the newspaper every day, that I am forgetting important facts and need reminders, bcz I cannot visualise the info.
This brings education failure into it as much alleged learning is digitised through earphone, earpods and the like.

I hv received e-books - even accidentally bought one on eBay, a cooking book that I dearly wanted. Consequently, I hv not seen it bcz I cannot open it to R E A D.
All discounts for Seniors are in this blasted E-Book whacko format, including the RACV discount information for members.
No one seems to give a damn about humans who do not hv E-Book access.
Can an E-Book be printed off?
I need to be able to physically see what alleged discounts can be obtained and from where to find them, bcz I will hv to drive to get them. Or is everything in line purchase only? If an E-Book is not printable, how can I get the discount?
There is never any instruction as to how e-books work - we are just expected to know, and that is unfair, undemocratic, ageist and all the rest of it. Many older persons do not hv grandchildren or family to ask.

Dear member BabsL thankyou for your post. I too am experiencing difficulties in understanding how the e-book is retrieved. I also like to read books that I can hold in my hands, that I can go back to pages, to recollect information that I may have forgotten. I would be more than happy to purchase a hard copy of the SDC book that shows discounts that seniors can save on. God bless,
