    I am considering the Keep It Simple curriculum for next school year.  When is it more advantageous to have the eBook vs. the Printed?  Are any of the 3 manuals consumable?  Are any of the resources that I may have to purchase through SCM better as eBook or Printed?  I have a duplex laser printer and a binding machine so there’s no issue there.  I prefer Printed books, but I also prefer frugal 🙂 .

    I print and bind them so that I can have them as soon as I order them. If I mess it up, I can always reprint it. Like Spelling Wisdom after a couple of kids. haha 😉

    I like ebooks for consumables and printed for everything else.  I like ebooks for Spelling Wisdom, handwriting, and the Visits To series.

    So may I ask what your printed consumable looks like when you’re finished?  Binder? Folder?

    And what does your teacher copy look like?

    Binders are so clunky and folders lose papers if not handled properly…which seems to be the case here.

    I hated the binder thing – too big, clunky, papers rip out, etc.

    I started spiral binding mine. A friend and I bought a ton of spirals and Staples hole-punches them for a penny a page. It saves me a LOT of money.

    Some reasons I chose spiral are: books lay flat, fold over, and papers generally stay in, and they take up less space.

    While the books don’t stand up as well, they tuck nicely into magazine holders which I label with the topic. For example: I have 106 Days of Science spiral bound and all the books needed are in one magazine holder, so the whole year is easy to find and use.
