Homeschooling6 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Really wish the science programs had ebooks, though! Oh well! It looks like in the future they may. Timeline and mapping resources, math, science programs, chess, as well as language arts for young learners and grades 7 and up are not available in an ebook format at this time. We will continue to add more ebook collections in the future. I think this is a great step forward for the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom&nana Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I saw that in the email this morning, and I think that's pretty neat. Although, I doubt I'll be using WP anymore in the future, I'm sure this will be great for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txhomemom Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I love the fact that they have ebooks so no more waiting for items to be shipped, but the price is the same as the printed book from what I can see. I just don't want to pay $80 for an ebook version of a curriculum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warneral Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It seems the price has gone way up (considering you now have to buy the readers separately). QAW middlers was 349 for all of the paper resources and books. Now it is 289 + 95 for the readers and it is efile only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeschooling6 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Something new for science from WP Dinosaur Days, a new science program for Grades 2-5. I'ts not out yet, but I'm interested in this for my boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeniebeenie6 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I love the fact that they have ebooks so no more waiting for items to be shipped, but the price is the same as the printed book from what I can see. I just don't want to pay $80 for an ebook version of a curriculum! My thoughts exactly. I'd rather pay shipping and get the manual sent to me already printed out, rather then pay for the .pdf and then the cost of printing it out.

Ecclecticmum Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I live in Aus, so am always looking for ebooks for curriculums instead of print. I was initially paranoid, as when they start saying the way you (and the spiel introduced it) that it was going to be something akin to the lock lizard program or something where you have online use of it for a year, so it looks like is a pdf file, so I'm ecstatic, I keep looking at WP's programs, especially Hoot, and also CATW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
