In fact, I use my Kindle Unlimited subscription, $10 a month, so if I’m reading for just entertainment, I can download a book and if I don’t like it, I just give it back. ” H. Wade Johnson, President Durden Banking Company Inc., Twin City, Georgia: “Print. My fingers like the feel of paper. I think it depends on how you start – the age and the generation. In my first job, I was a bank auditor for four years out of college. So I travelled all over the southeast, flipping through files… you learn to flip paper so quickly to find the things you’re looking for. We went to a complete digital filing system a few years ago, but I still miss going to the long vault and grabbing that big, long file looking for certain paper documents. I learned how to click the mouse, but I still don’t like clicking the mouse. Every book I read, when I have time to read, is real paper.” John Roddy, CAO St. Clair Township, Ontario: “I still buy print books, I like to have that book in my hand. You know, when you’re on vacation and sitting on the beach, it seems easier to read an actual book. I read enough things on my computer screen at work and it drives me crazy. So, I really don’t want to go home and bring out a Kobo and start reading off the tablet. It just doesn’t seem like reading a book to me.” Dave Nafie C.M., Acting Director Ventura County Airports, Ventura, California: “I read it on my iPad and that’s because I can have my entire library with me all the time. And I can have several books that I’m reading simultaneously. When I travelled more than I do now, that was huge. So I love it for the flexibility and the fact that I can take the thickest book you can think of and stick it in the tightest space you can think of. But I do love books; I have lots and lots of books that I love to display and handle, including some really old, interesting heirloom books that date back centuries.”
