Amazon has a Homeschooling Store!

Their selection isn't impressive-- it seems to be mainly books geared towards after-school enrichment of schooled kids. It looks like a new part of Amazon, so there is hope they will expand to include more of the typical homeschooling curricula (attention entrepreneurs-- there might be an opportunity for someone to open an Amazon zShop). I did some searching on Amazon, and discovered that they do sell Singapore math workbooks and textbooks, but don't have them listed in the "homeschooling store"-- it's hard to understand why they have special store for homeschoolers if they can't be bothered to put the relevant products in it.

Although my first loyalty is to the Rainbow Resource Center, it would be wonderful if Amazon could be an outlet for homeschoolers to sell the used curriculum that eBay has banned.

**Currently Amazon's list of banned items includes:

Solutions manuals. Manuals or teacher's editions that provide answer keys to student textbook editions are prohibited.

If Amazon wants its homeschooling store to ever have a decent selection, it needs to make an exception to this rule for homeschool editions (unless they choose interpret "student textbook edition" as not including homeschooling student editions). I'm not a heavy user of curricula, but there are items I wouldn't purchase without the teacher's manual. I can understand that Amazon might not want to sell teacher's manuals that are marketed to schools, but the editions that are marketed to homeschoolers really ought to be fair game, IMO.

Browsing the site, I am again considering purchasing the Bob Books. I've heard good things about the series, but we have Dick and Jane, and a series of Dora the Explorer primers, so I'm not sure if it would just duplicate what we already have.
