Definitely!
Can I use them on a Tablet?

Why have I only got one file when I download?
We compress all the kit files into a zip file to make them quicker and easier to download.
How to zip or unzip a file
If you have a zip file and you want Windows XP to unzip it, right-click the file and select ’Extract All’. This should bring up the ’Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard’. To extract the file or files, click ‘Next’ and select a directory or folder where the wizard can send the files.
If you want Windows XP to zip a file or a folder, right-click it and choose a ‘Compress’ item. Mac OS X works in much the same way, calling it ‘Archive’ instead of ‘Compress’.
Alternatively, you can right-click inside Windows Explorer, select ‘New’, create a zip file, and give it a suitable name. Next, use your mouse to select the files or folders you want to compress, hold down the left mouse-button, drag the files to your zip file and drop them on top of it. Repeat this as many times as you like - Windows will add the files to your zip file.
You can also use ’drag-and-drop’ to extract files from a compressed folder by dragging them to a different folder or to your desktop. Windows will uncompress them automatically.
Where do I get the fonts?
All of the fonts we use are available online. The details are given on the kit details and the links are in the forum.
Why don't you include the fonts?
The fonts we use in the samples are subject to copyright and licensing laws. We are not allowed to distribute them. We do supply the link where you can download them for your own use and we do limit the designs to fonts freely availble.
