CHOOSING A FORMAT · 2 min read
Paperback or printable: which suits your routine?
Compare a ready-printed puzzle book with a downloadable PDF, from printing at home to choosing a resource as a gift.
Choose a paperback for a ready-to-use book
A paperback arrives as a physical book. You do not need to find a printer or organise loose pages, and it is easy to leave beside your favourite chair or give as a gift. Amazon shows the current price and delivery options for your location.
Choose a PDF if you like choosing your pages
A digital edition is a file you download through Etsy. You will need a device to open it and, if you want to work on paper, access to a printer. Check the listing for the included files and permitted uses before buying.
Check the edition as well as the format
Some HPWalker resources are available in both formats, and some are available in just one. Look at the support language, character script and product details. An English-learning book with Japanese explanations is a different choice from one with Spanish explanations.
Try a free worksheet before choosing a collection
Free downloads include actual sample pages from the word-puzzle and logic-puzzle collections. Try an activity and check your printer setup; each worksheet page identifies its source and links to the related collection.
