Frequently Asked Questions
What are ebooks?
Ebooks are simply books in digital form, readable on your computer or your laptop, your tablet or on other reading devices such as your iPhone (or other smart phone), iPad, Barnes & Noble Nook, the Amazon Kindle reader, the Sony Reader, the Kobo Reader, and many other devices.
Do the I Spy GI books come in print?
The books are in digital form only, but you are welcome to print them yourself. If you purchase a book you are welcome to print the whole book once. You may print as many copies of the worksheets, interviews (or other pages to use with an activity) as you need.
Can I pass the book files on to others?
You may copy the files onto your device/s (or the person/family you bought it for) but I would appreciate it if you would download extra copies rather than passing it on to multiple people.
How do I purchase ebooks?
Usually you go to the particular ‘store’ (website) and select the ebook of your choice. You will probably be required to take out their free membership. You then pay for your order by credit card, gift card, voucher or paypal (depending on options available at the particular ‘store’). Usually you receive an email conformation with further instructions. You can then download your book. Many of the ‘stores’ give you an online library where you can keep your purchase for later download.
You can find links to the different 'stores' on the Book info page.
What might I need to be able to read the books on my device?
It depends what file format your book is downloaded in. The most common is EPUB. Some ‘stores’ also give you an ebook reader.
