Virgin Media is offering a free 43-inch LG UHD TV worth £249.99 with select broadband and TV bundles starting at £46.99 per month until July 29. Higher-priced options, such as the Max Volt bundle, include faster broadband and additional channels but require a 24‑month contract. Currys is separately discounting the LG QNED70 TV to £249.99, which customers have reviewed positively for picture quality. Alternatives like Plusnet provide lower‑cost broadband options for those not seeking bundled TV offers.

AllTrails Plus is highlighted as a valuable tool for casual and experienced walkers, offering offline maps, customised routes and smartwatch integration that improve outdoor navigation and safety. While its maps are less detailed than OS Maps, its global coverage, user-generated routes and tailored recommendations make it strong for UK hikers. Additional features such as off‑route alerts, Live Share and route syncing enhance its appeal, providing convenient and reliable support for exploring new trails.

Kobo has introduced automatic integration with StoryGraph, allowing its e‑readers to sync reading progress, statuses and recommendations in a way that previously only Kindle users enjoyed through Goodreads. The update brings syncing for current reads, progress, finished books and audiobooks, with options to override updates. The Kobo Clara Colour is discounted to £149.99 and is positioned as better value than Amazon’s colour Kindle models, though cheaper Kindle options still exist with trade‑offs such as ads and monochrome screens.
