:: Home Overview :: e-Books What is an e-Book? e-Book curriculum is identical to the print curriculum, except that it resides on your computer instead of in a binder on a shelf. Also, the ebooks will have some color pages whereas the print curriculum will not. When you purchase your e-book, you will receive an email that contains a proprietary link that allows you to download your e-book to your computer. The e-book file is in .pdf format, which means you need Adobe Acrobat to read the file. Adobe is a free program that most people already have installed on their computer. After you download the file, it is yours to keep forever and use as you wish for your immediate family. There are several advantages to choosing e-books: Have questions? Contact Us.

Important information regarding the use of e-Books: When you purchase a print curriculum, you are free to sell your used books to someone else once you are finished with them. It is not so with an e-Book. e-Books are digital property and are not transferrable. An e-Book is basically a license for your to print our curriculum as many times as you like for your immediate family. This license is for your immediate family only, and is not transferrable. You may not sell your pdf, nor may you give it away to any third party. If you redistribute any part of the e-Book, either electronically or in print, then you are basically stealing from us and are in violation of our e- Book license agreement. Sharing is prohibited. This notice is printed at the bottom of every page in every unit, just to help you remember. Please kindly respect the hours and weeks of time that went in to creating this curriculum, and do not share. We’ve priced our units affordably so everyone should be able to purchase what they need.

What about coops or classes? Many coops and classes have decided to use Living Learning Books curriculum. If you would like to use an e-Book with your coop, then do the following: 1.

You may then reproduce the pages for your students by either: a. instruct the families on how to use their own e-Books b. make a copy of the e-Book on a disc for each family c. print the pages for your students each week from your own e-Book.
