Hi Everyone, In addition to the AWE pc discount opportunity emailed previously, libraries have the opportunity to purchase the AWE tablet as part of the discount available through November 15. Jeremly Link at AWE is happy to announce that Michigan Libraries have spoken for 17 AWE computers. This means that the unit price for everyone is now at $2,993 each. This puts us that much closer to the 25 unit mark and the next discount. Eight more orders will push the price to the $2,835 price category. Please submit your questions and orders directly through Jeremy. Thank you, Angie Michelini Technology Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court, Novi, MI 48375 Office: 248.536.3100 x144, primary contact number Cell: 734.673.7303, urgent requests only ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Link" <LinkJ(a)awelearning.com> To: "Angie Michelini" <amichelini(a)tln.lib.mi.us> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 10:07:57 AM Subject: RE: Michigan Special Hi Angie, Good news! Tablet purchases can be included toward the final volume discounted price for the full computer units. This is for Michigan only and is only during this group purchase Oct. 1 – Nov 15, 2013. Tablet pricing is as follows. Tablet: $2,350 Shipping: free during the Michigan special (normally $25 each) Options: Protective Case: $65 Accidental Damage Warranty: $150 (covers two years of spills, drops, etc. and the protective case must also be used) Attached is a brochure about the tablet. Libraries can purchase either the Early Literacy Station or the AfterSchool Edge in the tablet format. Title lists and the brochure can be found on our website and most of the programs that are included in the full computer are also included on the tablet. There is an * next to programs that are not available on the tablet as some don’t work with the tablet format (typing programs). Tablet title lists: http://www.awelearning.com/en/markets/libraries/in-the-library/tabletlibrar… . Again, trade-ins can be combined with this offer and libraries receive $150 for each old AWE computer toward a new computer or tablet.
