Yeah that made me laugh too. Probably get them delivered to our Kindle implant in our heads around that time and wonder what on earth they are.

I've ordered them too. I have an engineering degree, but it's been a long while and I'm sure I'll need a refresher in 2025.

I would have, but didn't want to transfer my account to the UK Kindle store (although you can freely switch back and forth, at least for now). These were the first listings I'd seen that would not let you purchase them in the US Amazon store with a UK address (Amazon.com would say they were not available to those in the UK, while Amazon.co.uk would tell you that only UK customers could purchase, until it suddenly decided that I could transfer my account and get them).
In any case, I can't wait until they are released, so will have to find substitutes... Those who are having new children this year, though, should find that they come in handy when they start prepping them for college entrance exams. |

It's pretty cool. The CK-12 people have apparently released everything Creative Commons-licensed, and if you click on any of their titles and go to the little icons on the navbar to the left, it looks like you can download PDFs of even the works-in-progress textbooks.
I hope more educators and homeschoolers start using this site, instead of relying on expensive and possibly inaccurate standard printed texts, like that Texas Board of Education thing that's going on in the Lounge. |
