The latter one was a great success, I also did it with my private student (age 12) and she was able to produce an incredible text on an ideal day of a handicapped writer. She didn't get any input from me, aside from questioning her for more information using open questions, so it was even more satisfying for us both.

For some reason, the Kindle app for iPad is not available in the Turkish iTunes store!Guess I'll just have to manage on my PC for now :)Dave Hi Lindsay and Luke,

Great to see that the first Round book is out and I am really intrigued by the content of 52 and how I can adapt it to the YL classroom…

BUT…

do you have any plans to release it in an e-book format other than Kindle? For some reason, the Kindle app for iPad is not available in the Turkish iTunes store!

Guess I’ll just have to manage on my PC for now :)

I think a PDF version appeals to us a bit less right now, as it then becomes less a book, more a document. But we're definitely keeping an open mind.Thanks for the feedback and I hope you enjoy the book! Hi Carla

I wonder if you couldn't make the publishing available through http://lulu.com giving the option of pdf download and even hard copy. Just a thought...Cheers from Brazil, Carla Well, down here in Brazil we had no problem to download it for a wonderful price to our Kindle.

The first shock came when I wanted to order my Kindle. They charge about $50 more for being a Hungarian and it's the same with the books - they never charge the amount that appears next to the book, it's always more. Congratulations on the 52 - it's GREAT! I’m from Hungary and I am experiencig the surcharge by Amazon. The first shock came when I wanted to order my Kindle.
