Weekend reading: Monevator goes mobile

Good reads from around the Web.

A quick note: We now have a mobile phone version of the site running, which you should see if you visit Monevator on your device.

I’ve long resisted doing this – partly because I have good eyesight but also because I prefer to keep things simple [1].

However some of you asked for it, and Google recently read the riot act and said it would stop telling people about us if we didn’t play nicely on a phone.

I hope more of you like the mobile version than don’t.

Either way, there’s a toggle at the bottom of articles viewed on a phone to switch between the mobile and desktop versions, so if you hate it you can turn it off.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Product of the week: It might finally be time to fix your mortgage rate, reckons The Guardian [14]. You can get a two-year fix from the Yorkshire Building Society [15] at 1.07%, which ThisIsMoney [16] reckons is the lowest ever.

Book of the week: You can bag an Amazon Fire HD 7 [38] tablet for just £89 right now. It’s nippy and has all the gizmos you’d expect (nice screen, cameras, and so on) but being an old fuddy-duddy I think I’ll still with my venerable Kindle [39]. (Ah, the joys of a plain screen and a cheap grey case. Kids today don’t know what they’re missing. Et cetera.)
