    I am planning on purchasing the books:  Letters from Egypt and Boy of the Pyramids.  I’m wondering if anyone has bought these in ebook form and put them in a binder?  Does that work ok?

    I haven’t bought those particular books – but I have printed a few ebooks to put in binders, and it works fine…  How much the printing costs will depend a lot on your printer.

    I haven’t purchased these particular books either. However, I, too, have printed several ebooks. We do find the binders a bit bulky, but I have used them. One recommendation is to use pre-hole punched paper for the printing… It’s a huge timesaver. I prefer to take the printed pages to Office Depot and have them spiral-bound. I think it cost me $4 to do The Sciences, but that was before I learned how to print on both sides of the paper… it was a new printer… ;0)

    I don’t know how to print on both sides either. But I know how to print 2 pages on 1 regular page.  It sure would be nice to be able to do both sides, though.

    I have a duplexing printer, so 2 sided is easy, but you can print the odd pages, reload the printer & print the even. This will take some practice, but it works.

    Printing on both sides of the paper isn’t that huge a deal, but it does depend a bit on the software and on the printer.  Adobe (pdf’s) has the option to print on both sides of the paper.  Both of my printers do in their printing preferences too.   Basically it will print all the odd pages, then tell you to put the paper back in, and it prints the even pages.  Most of the printer drivers tell you right on the screen.  

    The thing that makes it a pain is if you put the paper back in wrong – so that it is printing on the same side again – or so that the pages are upside down….  trying to fix that without wasting ALL the printing you already did can be pretty tricky….

    Thanks for the pointers ladies.  I will play around with that this afternoon.  🙂
