Goodbye Books – Hello Amazon

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- We here at Professional Development Resources (http://www.pdresources.org/Index.aspx) are in process of combining the convenience of our online CE tests with the power of Amazon’s exceptional inventory of book titles. We have found that you can get the book from Amazon faster and for less than we can deliver it, and you get the CE test instantly on our website.

We originally created ‘test only‘ courses to allow users to share course materials and earn CE credit. Up until now we have carried an inventory of our book-based home study courses (mail order courses) to ship to customers. With the recent rise in fuel costs, this is no longer economical for us to do.

An added benefit to Amazon’s services is the convenience of books being available for Kindle, or other e-book readers. This allows the user instant access to their CE test (from PDResources) and to the book (from Amazon). All for less money!

This means that we will no longer offer course books, only the CE test that accompanies the books. We will continue to create and offer CE tests based on published books, but customers will have the freedom to choose from ordering the book online (from Amazon or another source), sharing with a colleague, or checking out from the library.

This is a great time to save on the remaining mail order courses in stock, now on closeout: http://www.pdresources.org/Courses/Other/Closeout/CourseN...

Our goal is to be book-free by the of 2011. What do you think?
