13 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 2, ISSUE 9 Scott Wilson, President & CEO SeaComm Federal Credit Union, Massena, New York: “It’s an interesting question because I prefer a hardcover book. However, I do have Kindle so that when I’m travelling, I don’t actually have to carry a book. I’m 52 years old, so I’m in both worlds. I still like to write things on Post-It notes but I use my electronic calendar extensively. And I’m sort of like that with my book. I can read it online – and when I travel I like having that – but when I’m home or at the office, I like having a hardcover book. I read the Wall Street Journal and I have it electronically for when I’m out. Like when I was on vacation, the hotel didn’t have it so I read it online, begrudgingly, but I prefer to have my Wall Street Journal nice and crisp like my daily newspaper in my mailbox.” Jan Leighton, President Arizona Association of Realtors, Pheonix, Arizona: “Up until about two years ago, I would swear I’d have a paperback book in my hand. And I switched to either Apple or Kindle a couple years ago and I’ve never looked back. I travel a lot because of obligations with the Association, so it just became easier to download the book onto my iPad Mini, which is what I use to read, and stick it in my purse. Rather than carry a book that I knew I was going to finish and then have to either carry it with me or leave it Power Question Business View asked some busy executives, “When you read a book for pleasure, what format do you prefer – digital, audio, or print – and why?”
