My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!

Fall-ing In Love With an e-Reader
As we are getting into Fall and making our way into Winter, why don’t you make the strain on bookshelves a little lighter with an E-Reader and digital library card?
If E-Readers have not struck your fancy before, which is understandable, take another look at them. Over the years, they have become more accessible and easier to fall into a book’s world. In addition, E-Ink screens are made to avoid the typical eye strain that many people deal with using a standard LCD screen. The most popular e-reader is the Amazon Kindle line, but products like the Kobo Clara HD and Onyx Book Note Air are excellent options as well.
Are you a fan of Libraries? Of course, how can you not be? Free access to a ton of books to read at any time sounds like a dream. Unfortunately, it has been more challenging for people to take advantage of their local library over the last year, but (as for most things), there is an app for that. We recommend Libby; it is available for most libraries. Although the app is not directly available for Kindles, you can browse the website on your computer and send your books directly to the kindle. The previously mentioned Kobo e-readers put a focus on supporting public libraries. The majority of the Kobo line offers a built-in OverDrive feature that lets you borrow books directly from your reader.
Suppose these E-Readers sound like a fantastic way to cozy up with a good book or 2 or 10 this fall, be sure to check out these apps and products. As always, if you would like some more help getting used to your new E-Reader and digital library access, reach out, and we can set you up with one of our helpful trainers.

Client Reviews
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.

I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.

A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
Jean G
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.

I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Mary D
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.

It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.

We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
Eva S
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Susan S
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
Jeff W
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
Michael M
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
Margie C
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
