What's up with the ebooks?
« on: October 08, 2011, 11:29:11 PM »
I've been reading through the ebooks on the site for the past two months and made it up to #13, then all of a sudden it cut me off. It directed me to the message about distribution, but that was from 2010- why was I able to read for so long then it suddenly ended? I was never able to finish the series and was hoping to do so online, anyone know what the problem is or if another site is hosting them?

scholastic finally requested that we take them down, most likely since they were re-releasing the series.

Nooo. That's terrible.
Never finished the series but am embarrassed to be an adult walking around with animorphs books so this was the perfect solution.
Anyone know of another site?

Scholastic is re-releasing the Animorphs series? When are they doing this? Assuming they have not already done so, because I have been out of the loop for so long...

they started coming out in May. http://www.scholastic.com/animorphs/books/index.htm
I know at least 4 is out by now, maybe 5 and 6 through pre-orders
Scholastic aimed to go up to at least 6, but I don't think we've heard if they have any plans on what will happen from there

Have we?
