What your buying here is endless replacement of ink cartridges. This product doesn't even come close to its claims. A piece of junk with good wireless connectivity.
This book was purchased thinking it would be chocked full of useful apps. 50% of the book is how to use an ipad which I did not need. There were only a couple of apps for each age/grade level and since I was looking, as an educator, for a specific grade, there were not enough listed. The app reviews were very thorough.
