They aren't in print anymore for 2025, but World Book is here: https://www.worldbook.com/world-book-encyclopedia-2025?srslt...

But even if it was only $100, imagine having all of that information and more in a watch on my wrist for free. That's basically what Aris does, and we are doing our best to make sure parents can control the information and perspectives their kids get.

Sorry - you’re the ones who opened with the “books are expensive” argument, and now you’re pivoting to “yes, but”?

Yes, but what will happen when you have to monetize the project and it’s no longer free, or worse, you turn the kid into the product?
